Common Mistakes to Avoid When Filling MV-45

• Missing VIN or License Plate Number: Double‑check the vehicle identification number and plate info; the DMV will reject incomplete entries.
• Incorrect Owner Address: The address must match the one on file with the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance.
• Unsigned Sections: All signature fields must be completed; use the electronic signature tool in Formize.
• Omitting Proof of Insurance: Attach a copy of a valid NY insurance card when you submit the form.

Where to Submit or Print Your Completed Form

After saving the filled PDF, you have two options:

• Print & Submit In‑Person: Bring the printed form to any NY DMV office along with required supporting documents.

Using Formize ensures the PDF remains fully editable until you decide to lock it, giving you flexibility to correct any errors before final submission.
