Does AAA provide photo changes with license renewals for someone who lost a lot of weight and no longer looks anything like current license photo?
Hi Kelly, thanks for the question. Yes, you have the option of taking a new photo with a renewal. If you upgrade to Real/Enhanced ID, a new photo is required.
With COVID, can license plates be turned in at ANY AAA office, or is this still not a service provided since May 2021??
Hi Conrad, thanks for inquiring. We currently have one more approval to pass with the State of NY in order to begin accepting registration/plate cancelations. Once approved we will announce the service. We hope to have it in place by 12/1/21. You can check AAA.com for further updates on this service, and other new services coming soon.
How much will it cost to do the following:
*Transfer a title into my name
*Transfer Plates and Registration
Hi John, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we can’t quote a price. It all depends on vehicle weight, expiration month, title, sales tax fees, etc. Fee information can be found on the DMV website for these transactions.
Hi I scheduled my son who will be turning 21 for his license renewal and upgrade to enhanced license when he renews. I’m assuming this can be done at aaa and is considered one transaction
Hi Jackie, thanks for reaching out. Yes, both a renewal and upgrade can be done in one transaction.
Hello,
The above is a bit confusing RE: changing your name as it seems under both offered/not offered. Are you able to process an enhanced ID last name change with appropriate social security card documentation?
Thanks for the help!
