Understood. Well, I have just returned from a mission in Iraq. Do I have to worry about my license being expired?
Of course not. Pursuant to Executive Order No. 2 by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, all licenses and registrations for New York State military personnel returning from active military duty relating to the war on terrorism and military action in Iraq will automatically be extended.
Did I have to notify DMV of joining the military?
It is suggested that military personnel file a Notification of Military Service (MV-75) to ensure that the license record is not purged once the expiration date has passed.
