The New York State DMV form MV-327, titled Notice of Repossession of a Motor Vehicle or Motorcycle, is a legal document used to fulfill the notification requirements mandated by Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 425. When a vehicle is repossessed, the repossessor is legally required to immediately notify the police agency in the locality where the repossession occurred and, within 24 hours, notify the vehicle owner via personal delivery or specific mail methods. This form serves as the official record of these notifications and the repossession event itself.The form requires detailed information including the vehicle's year, make, VIN, and plate number, as well as the names and addresses of the registrant, owner, lienholder, and the repossessor. It also captures the specific date and location of the repossession and the details of the police notification. The process involves completing the form and surrendering the vehicle's license plates to a DMV office, which then validates the document. The form consists of multiple copies—including versions for the DMV, the repossessor, and the owner—to ensure all parties have a record of the transfer of possession and the status of the vehicle's registration.
