The NY DMV MV-272 form is a certification document required for owners of homemade trailers weighing 999 lbs. or less to obtain and record a vehicle identification number (VIN). The owner must provide a description of the trailer, including its year and type, and certify that it is fully equipped according to law while agreeing to permanently attach the assigned VIN to the chassis within 10 days of registration.
To complete the registration process using this form, the owner must submit the certification in duplicate along with a weight slip and original bills of sale for all parts used in construction. Filing false statements on the MV-272 is a misdemeanor under New York State law, and for trailers exceeding 1,000 lbs., owners must instead use form MV-272.1 to request a VIN through the DMV's Division of Field Investigation.
