The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYS DMV) is undergoing an extensive modernization effort to consolidate many of its legacy applications into a single, new system.
The first rollout will launch Wednesday, February 18, and will include driver services (licensing, knowledge testing, ticketing, etc.). The second rollout will launch in Spring 2028 and will include vehicle services (registration, titling, insurance, etc.).
You will receive an email from DMV if you have been identified as a user of the 19-A System, which will be impacted by the first rollout. If you use more than one DMV application, you may receive multiple communications.
Given the magnitude of this implementation, all NYS DMV applications will be unavailable during the following period:
- Beginning – 2:00pm ET on Friday, February 13, 2026
- Resuming – Beginning of Business on Wednesday, February 18, 2026
Additional information/materials including login instructions (if applicable) and other resources will be provided over the next few weeks as we approach the first rollout. Please review these materials carefully to facilitate a smooth transition to the new system.
In the meantime, please whitelist the following emails/websites to ensure that they are marked as approved and will not be routed to spam or blocked by security controls:
If you have questions regarding the system upgrade as it relates to your specific application, please contact your current DMV support group:
