Is your snowmobile registered in its home state?
Yes
If your snowmobile is registered in your home state, you can use NY State's online registration for out-of-state snowmobiles to get a 15-day temporary registration to NY State and operate your snowmobile here immediately. If you have previously registered your snowmobile in New York, you can renew your registration. We will mail your regular registration to you.
I'd like to ask you another question about renewing registrations. If I am qualified for a 'no charge' registration, how do I go about registering?
You will need to renew at a DMV office and you will need to bring documentation to prove you are eligible for exempt status.
will there be a problem if I have a new name? can I still do it online or do I have to walk in to a DMV with proof?
You can still renew online but the new document will display your previous name. You won't be able to change your name during the online transaction, but we can give you information on how to change your name on a registration or title.
Did you know you will receive a temporary registration while you wait for your new registration documents to arrive in the mail?
yes
so I can't register online while I have an exempt registration fee?
