Yes. The New York State requires every motorist to maintain their insurance up to date so we at DMV make sure to inform you if you have any problem with your insurance.
Is it needed that my address is always up to date with you guys?
Yes, It is required. If not we won't be able to keep you informed about your insurance and we'll suspend your registration and license. You should make sure to turn in your vehicle's license plate before canceling your insurance policy
for the suspension to be put on hold until the result is known. Isn't there a chance for a hearing? May I at the very least request a hearing with the DMV?
Yes, you also have the right to a hearing before the DMV.
And what effect can the hearing have?
The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether the tolling authority notified you that you failed to pay tolls, fees or other charges related to 3 or more violations of the Authority's toll collection regulations, all such violations committed within a 5 year period, or failed to pay $ 200 in tolls accumulated within 5 years, if the violations occurred in a commercial vehicle, or failed to have them dismissed or transferred. At the hearing, you may NOT dispute whether you evaded a toll and/or failed to pay tolls, fees or other charges.
Well, that was very informative. Thank you. By the way, how can I dispute someone claiming I didn't pay my toll?
To do this, please contact the tolling authority listed on the Notice of Registration Suspension.
Alright. Back to the topic: do I have to appear at the hearing in person?
