About the Vision Registry
For many years, doctors, nurses, vision care professionals, and their supervised staff have been authorized to perform the vision screening tests required to apply for or renew driver licenses in New York State. These providers have the option to enroll in the DMV Online Vision Registry. In addition, pharmacists, staff supervised by pharmacists, and organizations authorized by DMV that are enrolled in the Vision Registry can conduct vision screening tests.
Having Your Vision Test Results Entered Online Makes It Easier to Renew Your License
Using an approved provider makes it easier for you to renew your driver license online or by mail. The professional or the organization that performs your test will submit the results to the Online Vision Registry. This allows you to renew your driver license online without entering information about your test results.
If you renew by mail, you do not need to send a Vision Test Report (PDF) (MV-619 or MV-619R) with your renewal application.
Fees
The provider may charge a fee. DMV does not determine the amount. Some providers may also require that you are a patient of their practice to do a vision screening test.
