Save yourself the grief- after waiting in line for 20 minutes, I threw in the towel and called. NO PROBLEM! They sent me new ones with 10 days. It took 2 minutes! You can request a new set of plates at a DMV office or by contacting the Custom Plates Unit at 1-518-402-4838 between the hours of 8:00am - 4:00pm, Monday through Friday and a telephone representative will walk you through the process. You may be asked to submit a photograph of the peeling plate.

I received a text message that my driving record was pulled and I needed to check in to it. Is this something that is done or is this a scam?

Rosemary Gasiewicz | Sep 30, 2021
Megann Gorsline | Sep 30, 2021

I would think it would be unlikely that a government agency like the DMV sends texts for this. Youd more likely be notified by mail. Call to inquire, but be leary giving out any information that they should technically already have if its real, or financial info.
