Of course. First, you must surrender the vehicle registration to the DMV.
Were two vehicle plates are lost, stolen or destroyed?
Yes. Well, this is a bit awkward, but the crash happened between two of my registered vehicles, which I use for my company. A van and a car. None of the plates can be read anymore.
Then you need to notify the police, and ask the police to complete a police report. Bring the police report to a DMV office to surrender the vehicle registration.
That's good to know. However, there is another issue. The accident happened outside of NY. Both vehicles were crashing on the yard of a contractor. What should I do in this case?
You should get a report printed on the letterhead of a police agency in the state where the incident happened.
What if I can't get a police report? What do I do then?
In that case you must write a statement that includes your plate number and explains why you can not surrender your NY State plates.
Alright, but if I DO get a report I can bring it to the DMV office, right?
Yes. Bring the police report to a DMV office to surrender the vehicle registration.
That's what I wanted to do. I also wanted to request new plates while I'm there, is that possible?
