You need to fill out driver license ID number, as well as date of birth and gender for both. There\u2019s also a space for mailing address information for both the primary and co-registrants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">Registration and title in New York could have two different names<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Both primary registrant + co-registrant must sign the MV-82 form<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The NY DMV also need a proof of identity and date of birth.
