Plate transfer
Who it's for
Buyers who already have NY plates and want to move them to the vehicle they just bought.
Requirements
  • MV-82 with transfer section completed
  • Current registration document
  • Signed title or MSO
  • Bill of sale (MV-50)
  • NY insurance ID card (FS-20)

Common reasons DMV rejects this

  • • The plate owner must match the buyer on the new title
  • • Suspended or expired registrations can't be transferred

Our AI checks every uploaded title, registration and ID for these issues before the deal is filed.

  2. 2We verify the plate is active and in the buyer's name
  3. 3We submit the transfer and credit remaining registration time
  4. 4The updated registration ships to you or your customer
Questions dealers ask

Can a spouse's plates be transferred?

Only if the spouse is also on the new title and registration.

What if the plates are expired?

We'll switch the job to new plate issuance so the deal keeps moving.
