Thank you.  I will check that out, but I have yet another question.  Is there anything special I need to do if I purchased a car in New York state and was not a resident of the state at the time?
If that was the case, you must use the form DTF-803 from the NYS Department of Tax & Finance to receive a non- resident exception.
Ok, that would be handy. Um, is there any information i should know about idenftification numbers on vehicles or motorcycles on NYS?
In that regard, the DMV should keep you up to date on any NYS laws referring to Vehicle Identification Numbers or VIN's.
