Gladly. First of all, your mailing address on DMV files must be current. You can not change your address during the transaction. You can first change your address online and then renew.
Do you want to file a request with the US Postal Service USPS to forward mail there?
Yes, that was my plan.
Then I'm afraid there is no guarantee that the USPS will forward all DMV documents to the new address .
Am I taking a chance if my mail is being forwarded to my new address?
There is no guarantee that the USPS will forward all DMV documents to your new address.
I understand, will have to live with that. Can I send you an application by mail?
Yes, please send us a completed Application for Duplicate/Renewal Registration and a photocopy of your NY State driver license, permit, non-driver ID, or other proof of identity by mail, along with a check/money order for $ 3 payable to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.
That's helpful to hear. Do you know how to order by phone?  Could you give me the phone number just in case I need it?
You can call the Custom Plates Unit at 1-518-402-4838.  Office hours are 8:00am - 4:00pm, Monday through Friday
May I ask another question about ATVs? Is it true that I cannot replace my 1971 Dodge registration document online?
Yes, that isn't possible. You cannot replace registration documents online for vehicles older than model year 1973. This includes boats, snowmobiles or all-terrain vehicles.
Ah, that's a pity. Alright, what forms should I bring with me to the DMV office?
Use the Application for Duplicate/Renewal Registration (MV-82D) and bring these items to a DMV office, along with a completed Application for Duplicate/Renewal Registration (MV-82D).
Great. Can you suggest another topic, please?
