GENERAL REQUIREMENTS*
ACCEPTABLE DOCUMENTS FOR PROOF OF IDENTITY
FOR REGISTRATION AND TITLE
IMPORTANT: Making a false statement in an application, or in any proof or statement in conjunction with the application, or deceiving
or substituting, or causing another person to deceive or substitute in connection with such application, is punishable as a misdemeanor
under Section 392 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law for vehicle registration applicants, and may result in the revocation or suspension of
your license or registration.
*
These requirements do not apply to interstate in-transit permits and to snowmobiles that are registered in another state and
will be registered for use in NYS. To apply for an interstate in-transit permit, a current out-of-state driver license is the only proof
of identity that you need. If you have a snowmobile that is registered in another state and will be registered for use in NYS, the
out-of-state snowmobile registration is the only proof of identity that you need.
When you apply for a registration or title, you must provide proof of your date of birth and proof of your name. A NYS photo driver
license, learner permit, or non-driver ID card that is current or that is not expired for more than 2 years meets the proof of name and date
of birth requirements.
l If you send a person to DMV to submit your application for a registration or title, that person must provide his or her original NYS
photo license, permit or ID card and a photocopy of your NYS photo license, permit, or ID card.
l If you do not have a NYS photo driver license, learner permit, or non-driver ID card that is current or that is not expired for more
than 2 years, you must submit documents from the list in the table on pages 1 and 2. The documents you submit to prove your name
must amount to 6 points.
¡ Your signature must be on at least one of the documents that you show for proof.
¡ You must provide the original documents or documents that are certified by the issuing agency.
¡ DMV will not accept more than one document of the same type of proof. For example, 3 major credit cards count as one credit card.
¡ DMV will not accept documents with any alterations or erasures. DMV will confiscate documents that appear to be fraudulent so
that the documents can be reviewed by DMV’s Investigations Unit. If you submit a fraudulent document, you may be subject to
criminal prosecution.
Expired documents are NOT acceptable, unless specifically noted in the table below.
