I’m still confused.
Say I move out of NY to MD. Naturally I’m going to surrender my NY license and get a Maryland license. Then I would find a local insurance company, get a policy and register my vehicle in MD. I would call my NY insurance broker and cancel the old policy. Supposedly this in turn woiud signal NY DMV to cancel my NY registration. Again, unless you have a special vanity plate that someone would want, NY does not reuse a standard plate combination. So why should I bother mailing the NY plates back to the NY DMV? Assuming I never intend on moving back, other than being on a shit list, what could they do to me?
FWIW, when my parents moved to Florida in the 80’s, they went through the above process. They mailed me their NY plates and asked me to turn them in (which I did). But since their FL licenses and registratons were in order already, why should they have bothered?
Anyone out there work for a DMV and have the official scoop?
