Renewing your vehicle registration is just one of those mundane things that needs to get done. Every two years, New York state asks its drivers to renew their registration. If you end up buying a newer vehicle before your two years are up, you can always transfer that registration to your new vehicle.

You can’t renew a registration online if it’s been suspended, revoked, if the vehicle hasn’t been inspected in past 12 months, or even expired more than one year
Early registration renewal
You can renew your NY tags no more than 75 days before the expiration date. The early renewal won’t change your expiration date for your next renewal two years down the line. As of December 1, New York state permits police to resume ticketing people with expired registrations or annual inspections, after eight months after Gov. Cuomo first paused inspection requirements due to coronavirus. So make sure you renew on time.

Liability insurance requirement to renew registration
New York state asks drivers to have valid NY auto insurance when registering their vehicles. Without it, your registration and driver license could be suspended. You have to have a minimum of $10,000 for property damage for a single accident. $25,000 for bodily injury, and $50,000 for death for two or more people in an accident. You can’t have an out-of-state insurance in New York.
If you have two names on your NY registration, both names must appear on the insurance card
Vehicle insurance coverage must be in the name of the registrant, and remain in their at all times. For motorcycles, these two-wheel vehicles are registered for one year instead of two, and all registrations expire on April 30th in NY. Motorcycle insurance in NY costs about $598 a year. You can’t ride your bike without liability insurance coverage.
Your registration is the sticker placed on your windshield and the paper registration certificate that you must keep in your vehicle
