To register a motor vehicle in New York State, you or your business must register and title any vehicle you own or lease. The following are the requirements for motor vehicle registration:

1. Proof of insurance: You must have proof of insurance for the vehicle you want to register.
2. Vehicle ownership: You must provide proof of ownership of the vehicle, such as a certificate of title or bill of sale.
3. Proof of identity and age: You must provide proof of your identity and age, such as a drivers license or non-driver ID.
4. Completed application: You must complete a Vehicle Registration/Title Application (form MV-82).
5. Payment of fees: You must pay the registration fees, which depend on the weight of the vehicle and where you live. The fees normally include sales tax, a vehicle plate fee or registration transfer fee, a title certificate fee, and a vehicle use tax (in most counties).

You can estimate the registration fees you will need to pay. You can pay the fees using cash, most credit cards, prepaid cards, and debit cards that do not require a PIN, or a personal check or money order payable to "Commissioner of Motor Vehicles".
