How To Renew Your New York Vehicle Registration Online
Step One.
Head over to our dedicated New York registration renewal page and click the yellow Get Started Here button.
Step Two.
Choose the vehicle owner type. For an individual, please enter the legal owner’s first and last name exactly as it appears on your New York driver’s license. For a company, please provide the full legal business name as it appears on company documents. Then click Next.
Step Three.
Enter your vehicle information. You will need the current license plate number as well as the VIN. Find your VIN (vehicle identification number) on your title, registration card, on the driver’s side windshield/dash, and sometimes on the outer edge of the driver’s seat. Then, click Next.

Step Four.
Answer a few questions about the condition of the vehicle. Respond with the appropriate answers as they apply to your car/truck/SUV/motorcycle.
Step Five.
Provide your shipping address. This is where your new documents will be sent.
**Please note: when you choose to use eTags for your renewal, we will supply you with an electronic copy of your renewal as soon as it becomes available. This means that you can print out this eTag and carry it with you while you await your paper documents in the mail.
Step Six.
On this page, fill in your contact details. You will need both a working email address and a mobile phone number.

Step Seven.
This is your summary page. Take a moment and review your order. You will see your vehicle, name, contact, and shipping information here. Click the Edit link for any details that need to be changed .

Please note that you can only select this option for the same service. For all other services, complete this transaction first and begin a new order. Otherwise, if everything looks good, you can continue to your payment page.
