About New York State Department of Motor Vehicles
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, often called NYS DMV, is a department of the state government. It oversees vehicle registration, vehicle inspections, driver licenses, learner permits, and photo identification cards, and it also decides traffic violation cases. Its regulations appear in Title 15 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations, and its headquarters is in Albany.
On its website, the agency provides online access to its services, including a MyDMV account for many renewals and replacements. Residents can use the site to find forms, check requirements for a REAL ID or enhanced identification, and look up office locations. The agency can also suspend registrations for habitual violations, such as failing to pay several toll fines within a set period. In New York State, its offices include locations in Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Yonkers, Plattsburgh, Elmira, and several New York City boroughs, along with mobile and kiosk service points.
