The New York State DMV Form MV-82, the Vehicle Registration/Title Application, is a comprehensive document used for various vehicle-related transactions including initial registration, renewals, title-only requests, and amending existing registration information. It is applicable to a wide range of vehicles such as passenger cars, pick-up trucks, trailers, commercial vehicles, ATVs, and snowmobiles. The form requires detailed information regarding the primary registrant, co-registrant, and the vehicle itself, including the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), fuel type, and odometer reading.

Beyond basic registration, the MV-82 serves as a legal certification for several critical requirements. Applicants must use it to certify that the vehicle is properly insured, has passed required safety inspections, and is equipped according to Vehicle and Traffic Law. It also addresses specific scenarios such as registering altered or "stretched" vehicles, transferring ownership (though it is not a bill of sale itself), and recording liens. For specialized use cases like corporate registrations or for-hire vehicles, additional documentation like proof of incorporation or DOT inspection receipts must be submitted alongside the completed form.
