Okay, since April 1, 2010, DMV has issued Empire Gold vehicle license plates. DMV no longer issues Empire Blue and White plates.
can I get the gold ones if mine were stolen or do you give me the same ones I had?
You will get Empire Gold plates when you apply to replace plates that were stolen
Now I have a completely unrelated concern about my Transfer credit. Is it true that I won't be able to use it for a renewal?
No.
What if my father died and he was the one who had the car registered?
You would need a certificate of death, the registration itself as well as showing the car passed into your possession, as well as pay off anything in arrears.
Can I email those documents to you?
No, you would need to fill out the Next of Kin form and either fax it in or bring it into an office.
Can I get a refund for my 1st year's registration based off these circumstances?
You would have to fill out the appropraite forms and be eligibile as said by those forms.
What if I did not use the registration sticker?
