So you have this card that says you are legally allowed to operate a vehicle in New York State? Say by some odd chance that you just forget to renew it. Of course, that would involve ignoring a mailing or two along with a few emails from the State DMV, but it could happen, right? So currently if your drivers license expired between the time of March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021, you are in luck? If you need to have your vision test re-certified in order to get your license, you can still self certify, which gives you one year from the date of your license renewal to submit your actual vision test.
