Some drivers in New York State are at imminent risk of having their licenses suspended if they don't take action immediately. A policy implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic is behind the upcoming suspensions.

You may be at risk if your license expired between March 1, 2020, and August 31, 2021, and you renewed it online and submitted a self-certified vision test. The pandemic policy allowed drivers to defer their vision tests, which are required for renewal. Now, the DMV's deadline has arrived. You will need to take a vision test and submit your results as soon as possible.

Here's What You Need To Do To Avoid Having Your Driver's License Suspended

You will need to take a vision test. If you take and pass your test with an NYS-approved provider, you won't need to send the vision test results to the DMV because the provider will enter the results for you. You can find a state-approved provider here.

If you chose to take your vision test at a provider not approved by the state, they will need to complete an MV-619 Vision Test Report, which you can find here, and you must submit it to the DMV. You can send it in electronically or via snail mail to:

License Production Bureau
PO Box 2688-ESP
Albany, NY 12220-0668
Attn: Vision Registry

Do not mail anything other than your completed MV-619 test to the address listed above.

Your local DMV can also test your vision.
