TheTrueMamada | Sep 12, 2021

New York State .. I started here .. https://dmv.ny.gov/more-info/all-online-transactions Under "Vehicle Transactions" follow the link for "Replace a Title Certificate" Then follow all links necessary and print out all required paperwork .. if you get lost, typing "Edit Title" or "Replace Title" into the help line should take you to the right info .. By calling a DMV I was told that you can still turn all the paperwork in at any open DMV office .. but you still need to make an appointment .. I signed up for one under the "registration" option .. the same people take care of Title issues Hope this helped

Travel NYC | Sep 12, 2021

Putnam County does not permit registration online. Only in person, and you need to make an appointment to go or they will not let you in. There are only certain counties that permit online registration. Additionally, not even sure if you were in a county that does online will you be able to register an out of state titled vehicle. I am pretty sure it is only with NYSTitles online.

Can I make an appointment to get the permit online?

Svitlana Lazaresku | Sep 13, 2019
Nunna Yourbiz | Sep 12, 2020

No you cannot in Brewster. Other offices that you need an appointment, yes. In Brewster, you have to go to the office and make an appointment to take the written permit test. Then you have to go a second time a couple weeks later to actually take the test. Brewster is special in this regard. All other office in New York State only require 1 visit to the DMV office, Brewster requires 2. Like in Beacon, you don't need an appointment, you just go there and take the written test immediately. All other offices that you need an appointment for, you can make the appointment on-line, and go there once to take the written test. But Brewster is incapable of on-line appointments.
