There is no guarantee that the usps will forward all the dmv documents to your new address.


O.k. I get it. But the whole process can be done by mail, right?

Great, thanks. But I would like to know what happens if my registration expires, and I haven't complete the renewal?

Yeah, hi, i went  through pre-licensing course and got my certificate, but i wanted to know how much time is it valid before expiring?


Sure, no problem. Your certificate will be valid for one year period, starting on the date it was issued to you. In case you have a certificate of completion, that will be valid for a two years period.


Great, thanks. Another question, please. What do i need to know for doing the road test? Need to practice something specific?


Certainly. It's a road test, so you'll need to practice some basics moves, so they know you are ready, for example you must focus on steering and acceleration, basic stuff.


Oh, i see, thanks. Sorry, but again about the certificate, did you mention a different one from pre-licensing, and that being valid for a greater period?


That would be Student Completion Certificate, and that will be valid for a two years period, unlike your Pre-licensing that only is valid for one year.


Ok then i heard well. Going back for the road test stuff, you told me about things i need to focus, but i was wondering how much i need to go with supervised driving before going for the real thing?


I'm under 18, by the way.


Very well, that's important. Well, as you are under 18, the minimum hour requirement would be 50 hours of supervised practice driving.


Wow, that much, huh?. Well, thanks. Oh, please, could you tell if i would need to have a pre-licensing certificate in case i need to change my license class sometime?


That would be a no. If you are in possesion of an valid NY State driver license, you don't need to own a pre-licensing course certificate in order to change form one class to another. Just go with your valid NY State license and apply to amend it to another class.
