Vision information

Reminder: If your license expired between March 1, 2020 and August 31, 2021 and you renewed online by self-certifying that your vision is acceptable, but you have not submitted a vision test to the DMV, you must do so within one year of your renewal.

Note: There is a different process for renewing a commercial driver license (CDL) [1].

How to send a vision test report electronically or by mail

Follow the information in this section if your license expired from March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021. If you need to renew your license, please see How to renew a license [2].

Note: There is a different process for renewing a commercial driver license (CDL) [1].

Step 1: Pass a vision test

If you pass a vision test by an approved provider (find a test location now [3]), you do not have to send the vision test results, the provider will enter the results for you.
If you pass a vision test from a provider that is not approved to be in DMV's Vision Registry, your provider must complete a Vision Test Report [4] (MV-619) and you must submit it to the DMV.

Step 2: Submit your completed vision test report

Electronically

Fill out and submit a short webform using the information on your completed Vision Test Report [4] (MV-619).

Submit vision test electronically [5]

By mail

Do not send anything other than your completed MV-619 to the address below.

Mail to:

License Production Bureau
PO Box 2688-ESP
Albany, NY 12220-0668
Attn: Vision Registry

You can also visit your local DMV to have your vision tested.
