Am I taking a chance if my mail is being forwarded to my new address?
There is no guarantee that the USPS will forward all DMV documents to your new address.
I understand, will have to live with that. Can I send you an application by mail?
Yes, please send us a completed Application for Duplicate/Renewal Registration and a photocopy of your NY State driver license, permit, non-driver ID, or other proof of identity by mail, along with a check/money order for $ 3 payable to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.
