You need the NYS title and must bring the car to the County Office with you. They need to check the VIN visually.
Don't throw away your old plates, you need to return them to Albany (with a special form). When the insurance company notifies NYS that you are no longer insured in NY and they don't have your plates back, they issue a warrant. Next time you get stopped, you'll be arrested if there's a warrant out for you.
Many New Yorkers forget to do this and put their old plates on their golf carts. Bad-Bad !
