How it works
Send us your papers
WhatsApp photos of your documents. We check everything before anyone goes to the DMV, so nothing gets rejected for a missing paper.
We pick up, or you drop off
Drop your signed forms at our Richmond Hill office, or we pick them up from your door anywhere in New York City.
We bring back your plates
We take your paperwork to the DMV and bring back your plates, sticker and registration, usually by the next business day.
Skip the trip. We come to you.
DMV pick-up & drop-off across New York City. We collect your signed paperwork (and old plates, if you’re surrendering) from your home or business in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan or Staten Island, and deliver your new plates and registration back to your door. Nassau and Suffolk on request.
There’s an extra charge for pick-up and drop-off, quoted for your address when you book. How pick-up works →
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee my combination?
No one can. The DMV reviews every request, and some combinations aren’t allowed. We check availability before ordering.
Can I get custom plates the same day?
No. They are made to order and mailed by the DMV.
What do I do with my old plates?
When the new ones arrive, destroy the old ones. Don’t mail them to the DMV.
Can I move custom plates to a new car?
Yes, with a plate transfer. See Transfer Plates.
No New York insurance card yet? You need one before the DMV will register a car. We’re a licensed insurance broker in the same office, so we can insure and register your vehicle in one go.
