Overview

• Nearly 51,000 New York drivers face license suspensions if they don't submit vision tests by December 1, 2023.
• The suspensions will affect drivers who renewed their licenses between March 1, 2020, and August 31, 2021.
• During the pandemic, drivers were allowed to renew their licenses online by temporarily self-certifying their vision test requirement.
• Driving with a suspended license in New York can result in a ticket or fines of $200 to $500, and possible jail time of up to 30 days.
• Vision tests can be taken at a state-approved location or a vision test report form can be submitted, both available on the DMV's website.
