Anyone purchase and register a boat recently during covid in New York State? The DMV site is vague so I have to call tomorrow but I’m hoping I can mail in the documents. The first appt available in the local dmv is October 5th

I found it - it’s all by mail in our area. Unfortunately that seems to mean there is no temp reg issued. It’s a documented vessel and currently registered, but I have to assume that means it can’t leave the slip under my control until we get the temp or permanent.
I used drop box like akwalker said and got my reg/stickers in 1 week BUT...Received my title in the mail with the previous owners lien listed (I provided original copy of release with paperwork) spoke with NY dmv in Dutchess County and they said whoever ran my paperwork didn’t enter it correctly. Liens on boats need to be entered into the system a certain way and Cars/trucks are much more strait forward.
Basically someone at dmv f****d up and now I’m left trying to get through to the title office in Albany to get my paperwork back. I’ve tried the title office 10x and get the covid busy recording. At this point I’m going to contact the previous owner to see if he can acquire another copy.
I really wanted to do this in person but after getting annoyed by the Sheriffs out on the water and in my slip multiple times I finally decided to do the drop off title/reg. My advice..wait for that Oct 5th apt!!!
