In NY you must use original plates in good legible original condition as repo’s (nor refinished) are not allowed. A photo of your plate(s) are submitted in addition to the registration form. Once you buy your plate (or plates depending on his many were required for that year), they check to see if the plate number is already used. Plates were issued every two years back then so the same plate number could already be in use. Once your number is cleared you can change your plates to YOM.
