MV-464L Form – New York vehicle dealers participating in the Dealer Plate Issuance Program rely on the official MV-464L form to stock up on registration plates and In-Transit Permits (ITPs). This easy-to-use order form lets authorized dealerships request passenger, commercial, motorcycle, trailer, ATV, and limited-use motorcycle plates plus temporary in-transit permits for customers.
The latest version (revised January 2025) is available as a free, photocopiable PDF directly from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NY DMV). Whether you need to order plates for your car dealership or bulk in-transit permit materials, this guide covers everything: how to download, fill out, submit, and use the form—plus the recommended online alternative for faster service.
What Is the MV-464L Form?
The MV-464L is the official “Order Form for Registration Plates/In-Transit Permits” issued by the NY DMV. It is designed exclusively for dealers enrolled in the Dealer Plate Issuance Program, allowing them to order physical inventory of:
- Passenger plates
- Commercial plates
- Motorcycle plates
- Trailer plates
- ATV plates
- Limited Use Motorcycle plates (Class A, B, and C)
- In-Transit Permits (ITPs) – temporary registrations for vehicles being moved out of state or to another registration location
Dealers use the plates and permits they order to issue permanent registrations or temporary tags directly to retail customers, streamlining the sales process. The form is not for individual drivers—only licensed dealers in good standing.
Key facts (as of the 1/25 revision):
- Minimum order: 1 box (25 sets of plates) or 1 package (25 ITPs)
- Maximum order: 5 boxes of plates or 4 packages of ITPs
- Plates ship in boxes of 25 sets (passenger/commercial) or 25 single plates (motorcycle/trailer/ATV)
- ITPs ship in packages of 25 permits
