Maybe you are bringing along a car, truck, SUV, or motorcycle with you and it\u2019s time to swap the plates from your old state with plates from the Empire State. Or perhaps you are already a New York resident and you\u2019ve just bought a new ride. Or what if you inherited a sweet set of wheels or were fortunate enough to receive your favorite vehicle (or your grandpa\u2019s jalopy) as a gift.\u00a0 Whatever the case may be, you are going to need to register your automobile in the state of New York in order to drive it legally.<\/p>\n<h2>The question is, of course, how?\u00a0 How do you go about registering a vehicle in the state of New York?<\/h2>\n<p>Well, you\u2019ve come to the right place.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got a step-by-step How To when it comes to getting your plates and getting your ride roadworthy.

And this insurance must meet a set of minimum liability requirements.\u00a0 Those numbers are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$10,000 for property damage for a single accident<\/li>\n<li>$25,000 for bodily injury and $50,000 for death of anyone involved in an accident<\/li>\n<li>$50,000 for bodily injury and $100,000 for death of two or more people involved in an accident<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We know, it\u2019s a bit morbid to see those coverage terms, but it\u2019s the law in NY, so it\u2019s a smart idea to be familiar with what you will need in order to register a car and drive legally.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Once your vehicle is insured, you have 180 days of the effective date on your insurance card to register your vehicle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Registration must be completed during this time period. Also important to note that the name on your insurance card must match the name listed on your vehicle registration application.<\/p>\n<p>Because people often ask this when moving to New York, here\u2019s another point: you cannot use out-of-state insurance in NY.\u00a0 Once you are a NY resident, registering a vehicle in NY, you are required to purchase auto liability coverage <em>within <\/em>the state of NY.\u00a0 If your current insurance provider is a national company, it can be helpful to ask them if they have a branch in NY and whether they can convert your policy to your new state of residence.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24077 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-800x503.jpeg\" alt=\"Auto Insurance\" width=\"800\" height=\"503\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-800x503.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-1160x730.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-1536x967.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-2048x1289.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-120x76.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-90x57.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-320x201.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-560x352.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-1920x1208.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AdobeStock_232626269-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/503;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next Step.
