Registration Sticker

[trendimusprime]

New York State, is it illegal to have your registration sticker on your dash and not attached to the window? If so, specifically what code or statute is it? I've looked all over and can't find anything that expressly states that.

Where do I put a windshield sticker or a plate sticker on my vehicle?
You must remove all previous or expired stickers before you put the new sticker on your windshield or your vehicle plate.

You must attach any windshield stickers to the lower left-hand corner of the inside of the windshield. When you see the windshield stickers from the driver seat, make sure that the registration sticker is located to the right side of the inspection sticker. Make sure that you put the sticker in a location that allows you to read the vehicle identification number (VIN) from the outside of the vehicle.

If your vehicle does not have a windshield, you must keep the windshield sticker in the vehicle.

The pesky thing about not attaching them properly is the temptation to use them on non-compliant cars.

VTL section 403 (1):

§ 403. Number plates continued. 1. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this chapter, the commissioner, upon registration or
reregistration of any vehicle required to be registered under this
chapter, may continue the use of number plates for an additional period
as may be determined by him, in which event he shall issue and deliver a
tag or other evidence of registration, which shall be attached or
affixed in such manner as he may prescribe by regulation. The failure to
affix or display such tag or other evidence of registration, in the
manner prescribed by the commissioner, shall constitute a violation of
this section. The removal from any vehicle, other than by the owner of
the vehicle or person authorized by such owner or by a police officer in
the performance of his duties, of such tag or other evidence of
registration shall constitute a class B misdemeanor.


The commissioner specifies that the sticker must be affixed to the windshield.
