New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 15 - Department of Motor Vehicles › Chapter I - REGULATIONS OF THE COMMISSIONER › Subchapter C - INSURANCE › Part 32 - Insurance Identification Cards › Section 32.13 - Miscellaneous

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The name of the
				  registrant and the name of the insured must coincide.
(b) ID cards shall be issued in the name that
				  coincides to the name on the registration for a specific vehicle. All
				  registration names that may be insured under a policy cannot be listed on the
				  same ID card if such names exceed one organization name or two individual
				  names. However, all of the registration names and all of the specific vehicles
				  must be captured by the issuer and provided to the insurance company to enable
				  the company to successfully submit electronic insurance transactions to DMV in
				  accordance with Part 34 of this Title.
(c) Fleet transactions. When a policyholder
				  has five (5) or more (non-For Hire) or ten (10) or more (For Hire) motor
				  vehicles registered in New York State, the insurance company may use the
				  statement "ALL OWNED VEHICLES" in lieu of a specific vehicle description on
				  each ID card. However, each vehicle must have an ID card issued for it. No
				  other wording except "ALL OWNED VEHICLES" is acceptable in lieu of a specific
				  vehicle description on each ID card. Fleet ID cards must be issued in names
				  that correspond to the registration names for multiple vehicles. For example,
				  if 16 vehicles are insured under a policy and 4 vehicles are registered in the
				  name of ABC CORPORATION, XYZ SUBSIDIARY, SMITH JOHN A and EASY LEASE INC., then
				  4 sets of ID cards must be issued in the 4 different registration names.
Note: Even though non-vehicle specific ID cards are
					 permitted herein, all specific vehicle, registrant name and all other required
					 information must be captured by the issuer and provided to the insurance
					 company to enable the company to successfully electronically submit mandated
					 insurance transactions to DMV in accordance with Part 34 of this Title.
(d) Retail motor vehicle dealers.
				  An ID card issued to a retail motor vehicle dealer shall contain the wording
				  "DEALER GARAGE AUTO LIABILITY POLICY" or "ALL OWNED AND NON-OWNED
				  VEHICLES-COMPREHENSIVE AUTO LIABILITY POLICY" in lieu of a specific vehicle
				  description. One set of ID cards must be issued for each set of dealer license
				  plates assigned to the dealer by DMV. An ID card shall be placed in each
				  vehicle while it is being driven under the dealer's policy with a dealer plate.
				  An ID card with either notation prescribed in this Subsection shall only be
				  acceptable for obtaining a dealer registration and license plate. An ID card
				  with either prescribed notation is not acceptable for registering a specific
				  vehicle in other registration classes. A temporary ID card (FS-21 or FS-75) is
				  not acceptable for the issuance of dealer registration and dealer
				  plate.
(e) Wholesale dealers and
				  transporters. An ID card issued to a wholesale dealer or transporter for
				  transporter license plates shall contain the wording "AUTO LIABILITY POLICY" in
				  lieu of a specific vehicle description. One set of ID cards shall be issued for
				  each set of transporter plates assigned to the registrant by DMV. An ID card
				  with the notation prescribed in this Subsection shall only be acceptable for
				  obtaining a transporter registration and transporter license plate. An ID card
				  with the prescribed notation is not acceptable for registering a specific
				  vehicle in other registration classes. A temporary ID card (FS-21 or FS-75) is
				  not acceptable for the issuance of a transporter registration and
				  plate.
(f) Faxed ID card. A faxed
				  ID card containing a compliant encrypted 2D bar code is acceptable for
				  registration and insurance processing purposes if it is readable by DMV and
				  otherwise compliant with the requirements set forth in this Part. In order to
				  be readable, the bar code must be large enough to provide sufficient resolution
				  for reading. A faxable bar code may be printed directly on a card or in a
				  manner similar to the documents produced by the DMV developed software in the
				  appendices of this Part. If printers and fax machines used by senders and
				  receivers of faxed ID cards do not provide the required print quality and
				  resolution, such equipment must be replaced for the fax utility to be
				  successfully employed.
