The New York Certification of Eligibility for Government/Official Plates is an official document issued by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to individuals or organizations that are eligible to receive and use government or official license plates. There are three types of New York Certification of Eligibility for Government/Official Plates: the General Plate, the Special Plate, and the Special Plate with Logo. The General Plate is issued to individuals or organizations whose vehicles are used for general state business purposes, such as public transportation or towing. This plate allows the vehicle to be operated on public highways without the need for a registration. The Special Plate is issued to individuals or organizations who use their vehicles for specialized business purposes, such as police, fire, and emergency services. This plate allows the vehicle to be operated on public highways without the need for a registration and also allows the vehicle to be used for specialized business purposes. The Special Plate with Logo is issued to individuals or organizations who use their vehicles for specialized business purposes and also requires the vehicle to display a logo. This plate allows the vehicle to be operated on public highways without the need for a registration and also allows the vehicle to be used for specialized business purposes. To receive a New York Certification of Eligibility for Government/Official Plates, applicants must provide supporting documentation, such as a letter from an authorized government agency or organization, a completed application, and any other documents required by the DMV.
