Passenger Vehicles:
o If you already have a valid NYS registration for the vehicle in your name, the fee is $3.75 for the new document.
o If the vehicle is not currently registered in your name, the fee is $28.75.
NOTE: If you live in New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk, Orange, Putnam,

Transportation District supplemental registration fee.

additional fee of $50 for the title.
l Vintage plates are the actual plates issued to the vehicle owner, or other original plates (not reproductions) issued by New York
State (NYS), in the year the vehicle was manufactured. Note: The manufacture date will be based on the model year of the vehicle.
l Any motor vehicle manufactured more than 25 years before the current calendar year that is used only as a collector's item or
exhibition piece, and not for daily transportation, may be registered with vintage plates from the model year of the vehicle.
l Vintage registrations are valid for one year. To register your vehicle with vintage plates, you must have actual plates that were
valid in NYS in the year the vehicle was manufactured. If it was a metal tab year, you must have the metal tab.
o The plates must be original; not reproductions and not painted.
o If NYS issued only one plate in the year of manufacture, that plate must be mounted on the rear of the vehicle.
If NYS originally issued two plates in that year, you must use both matching plates.
o A motorcycle plate must be used on a motorcycle. Otherwise, any plates issued in the year the vehicle was
manufactured may be used on any type of vehicle. For example, plates originally issued to a truck may be used on a
car, and plates issued to a taxi may be used on a truck.
