Replacement of 2010 Safety Emission Stickers
NYVIP UNIT MESSAGE No. 39
4/03/2009
TO: All
INSPECTION STATIONS
FROM: NYS DEPT.
OF MOTOR VEHICLES
SUBJECT: Replacement
of 2010 Safety Emissions Stickers
The
Department of Motor Vehicles has recently discovered a potential
problem with some 2010 gray Safety Emissions Certificates (VS-1082SE)
not adhering properly to windshields.
Some
motorists report that they are using tape to affix the sticker. DMV
is directing inspection stations and motorists to reaffix a
non-sticking inspection sticker, if they still have it, or to replace
the sticker in the event that is no longer available.
Because of this situation we would like to remind Inspection
Stations of the procedure a motorist should follow to obtain a
replacement inspection certificate.
If the
sticker did not remain attached to the windshield but they still have
the sticker, they can attach the sticker with clear tape or a small
amount of clear adhesive.
If the
sticker is not usable or if they do not have the original inspection
sticker, the vehicle can be re-inspected or they can follow the
instructions below.
Send a
request to DMV and include the reason for replacement, a daytime
phone number and either a copy of the inspection receipt OR include
the following information:
The
inspection certificate number of the original inspection sticker
The year
and make of the vehicle
The
vehicle plate number
The
odometer reading at the time of the inspection
The date
of the inspection
Although
there is normally a $2.00 fee to replace a sticker, this fee is being
waived if the sticker is defective. Please indicate that this
replacement is for a “defective sticker� in the request. Mail
the required items to:
Bureau of
Consumer and Facility Services
Issuance
Unit
NYS DMV
P.O. Box
2700
Albany, NY
12220-0700
This
information can also be found on the DMV website at

These are messages sent by NYS DMV to the
inspection stations via the emissions analyzer units. They frequently contain important
information, usage tips, or announcements of system changes.
