MV-114

The NYS DMV MV-114 form covers the following key components regarding personal pick-up truck registration:

• Registration Flexibility: Pick-up trucks used strictly for personal use can be registered as either passenger or commercial vehicles. Regardless of the chosen class, the owner must still pay a commercial registration fee and any applicable county commercial use tax.
• Parkway Access: Registering the truck in the passenger class grants permission to drive on New York State parkways and roads that are strictly closed to commercial traffic.
• NYC Parking Caveat: Vehicle owners who regularly drive and park within New York City are advised to evaluate this change carefully due to complex and numerous local NYC parking restrictions for passenger versus commercial plates.
• Fees & Visual Requirements: Changing an existing registration to the passenger class costs $28.75, and the vehicle must not display any advertising. First-time registrations or renewals cost $25.00 for the passenger plates plus standard registration fees.
• Custom Plates: Owners with commercial custom plates can usually transfer their personalized combination to a passenger series for a $1.00 transaction fee plus the plate-specific fee.
