Wow, is good to know that. Oh, what about if  i get robbed my license, can i get a replacement?
Well, in fact you can get a free replacement. You must go to a police agency, and ask for the form MV-78B. I must remark that you will only get that form from police, not from DMV.
One other thing, about the contrary, only debit / credit card. What should I do if I change my license?
if you exchanged your New York State driver's license for an out-of-state driver's license, attach a photocopy of your out-of-state driver's license to form MV-215
