Morning! I need some information about surrendering plates. I'd like to know, when do I have to surrender them?
Morning, Mr. You have to surrender your plates before you end the vehicle's liability insurance coverage, or when you will not use the registration.
I have a trailer, and my plate got stolen on a trip to the beach. I found out yesterday I had no plate, what should I do?
Don't worry,  as you may already know: "normally" a trailer does not need liability insurance, so DMV will not suspend your driver license or registration because your plate got stolen, and therefore you will fail to surrender it.
So, just to make sure: do I need yo surrender trailer plates?
You must surrender your plate if your trailer doesn't have a valid registration, it's ok if you "lost" it as long as your registration is valid.
Ok, thanks for that! Btw, my girlfriend wants to surrender her plate, but she's very new with this stuff.. Could you send me some information on how to surrender plates by mail? So that I can send it to her, please,
Yes, sure!First, you need to remove the plate and the stickers on it. Then go to www.dmvplatebymail.com and download de PD-7 application, and after that mail us the application to: NYS DMV6 Empire State PlazaRoom B240Albany , NY 12228. When we got all that, and after your application has been accepted we'll mail you your FS-6 T receipt.
Ok, one last question. You told me that's it's ok to have gotten my plate stolen for trailer, because the liability insurance is not a MUST, and as long as I have a valid registration I'll be fine. But what If I have a car, and the plate is lost, stolen, or destroyed?
In that case, you need to report the plate as "stolen, lost or destroyed" and immediately surrender the registration. DMV will issue you a new plate and registration.
What if I'm in an another state? Would it be a problem? Or can I do the whole process by mail as if I was here?
You have to go to that state's DMV agency and surrender them there, but you can still surrender them by mail. Just make sure, you are in that specific state when you are in the DMV website.
I need help with driving school instructor certificate matters
Have you passed all tests?
yes , so what happens next
The Bureau of Driver Training Programs will issue a Driving School Instructor Certificate and mail it to the driving school where you are employed.
does everyone have to pass those same tests?
Yes, you must pass the vision test, road sign test, written test, and the driving school instructor driving test
if I want to get permission to work at another school do I still need my driving record for my New Jersey license?
Yes, if your driver license was issued from a state other than New York, you must include a certified copy of your driving record from the state agency that issued your license.
do I need to have my certificate with me when I work?
It should be shown if a customer or DMV employee wants to see the certificate.
would I have needed to pay again if I had failed a test?
Once you submit an application you are allowed to take each of the Road Sign Test and Written Test twice, and the Behind-The-Wheel Instructor’s Driving Test once.  If you do not pass these tests, you will have to submit a new application and pay another $10 fee.
what are my options for a hearing on my toll problem?
Have you received a Notice of Registration Suspension?
As the notice states you may request an in-person DMV hearing or you may request a hearing by affidavit.  The Notice of Registration Suspension provides instructions on how to submit an affidavit to DMV if that is what you choose to do.
why do we need the hearing?
The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether the tolling authority notified you that you failed to pay tolls, fees or other charges related to 3 or more violations of the Authority’s toll collection regulations, all such violations committed within a 5-year period, or failed to pay $200 in tolls accumulated within 5 years, if the violations occurred in a commercial vehicle. At the hearing, you may NOT dispute whether you evaded a toll and/or failed to pay tolls, fees or other charges.
so I can just do the affidavit on the hearing and I won't have to show up?
If you submit the affidavit you will not have to appear at the hearing
can I have avoided the suspension?
Yes, the notice informed you that if you pay all of the tolls, fees or other charges owed to the tolling authority, or have them dismissed or transferred , the suspension will not take effect .
too late now, so I can do the hearing or the one where I don't have to show up?
yes, you may request an in - person DMV hearing or you may request a hearing by affidavit this is a hearing on paper
what if I do neither?
your registration will be suspended immediately
what can I do next time, who do I call to pay?
You may contact the Customer Service Center and speak with a customer service specialist.  Each tolling authority has a Customer Service Center and they can provide you information on your outstanding violation.

Do you think your school has policies but isn’t following them?
