To replace a lost drivers permit that was lost during a crime, ask the police for form MV-78B and take this to a NY DMV office with ID. You won’t be charged a fee.
Replacements
If you lost your learners permit for any other reason, you may do one of the following:
- Go to a DMV office with ID and fill out a new application form.
- Apply for a new permit online (only if your address of record is current).
- Apply by mail.
Renewals
The New York DMV allows you to renew a permit only if you passed the test within two years. If it’s been longer than that, you’ll have to go retake the written and the vision tests. You may renew the permit a month before it expires. Renew permits:
- By Mail
- In person
Permits cannot be renewed online.
If you have to retake the written test, it’s important to go over the material again. Study the New York Drivers Handbook and take a permit practice test. NY doesn’t have a free practice test. You can purchase a permit practice test from a variety of online retailers, who write the tests using the handbook regulations and a multiple choice format, just like the real test. Choose one with at least 50 questions, or 100 if you would like to take it twice and make sure you covered all the potential material. If you pass this test, then you can be sure you’re ready to pass the actual written exam. If you fail the practice test, then go ahead and study some more.
