assistant: Sure, there is no problem. I need to ask you, the account belongs to you?

user: Yes, is related to me.

assistant: Alright. Sure. There is a process you have to go through, you need to send a request to close your account by mail, fax or email to the dmv revenue accounts. The request must be on your letter head, there must be your account number and must be signed and dated too.

user: Alright. I can do all that. But before do it, can you tell me for what is the escrow account? Because I never had to use it.

assistant: Sure, no problem. An escrow account is a payment alternative for users of the DMV, that way you don't need to send money or checks for every transaction, you just do a deposit on your escrow account and the money is debited every time a transaction is done.

assistant: The remaining balance in your account can be refund by a check or can be transferred to another escrow account you may have with the dmv.

user: The only way to do this process is by mail?

assistant: Not at all. You can also send the documents and forms by fax at 518-473-9644 or email, it would like approximately 2-3 weeks.

user: Any person can create an escrow account, right?

assistant: Yes, that's correct. Any person who frequently process any or all of the dmv products and services can do it.
