You Must Provide an Email Address
You must provide an email address so that the DMV can send a confirmation message of your transaction to you.
Make sure your
- email address is not blocked or protected (this can prevent the delivery of a confirmation message from us)
- email program can receive email from addresses that include the domain: dmv.ny.gov
- email address is less than 46 characters long (we cannot accept longer email addresses)
This is an example of a correct email address: username@ domainservice.com
These are some common errors made with email addresses
| www.name@ aol.com | Do not use "www." to begin an email address. |
| username@www.aol.com | Do not use "www." after this character: @. |
