1. Disabled or Visually Impaired Individuals: A person with a valid disabled placard or an enhanced driver's license (EDL) issued due to visual impairment may register and operate a vehicle without a full standard driver's license.
2. Non-Driving Family Members: In some cases, a person who does not have a driver's license may register a car in their name if another household member with a valid license will be the primary driver. The car should be primarily used for the purposes of the household, and the registered owner should not operate the vehicle.
3. Vehicle Used by Business or Organization: If you are a business or organization, you can register a vehicle under the business name without requiring a driver's license for that specific vehicle.
In each of these scenarios, additional documentation and legal requirements may apply, and restrictions on the registered owner's driving privileges or uses of the vehicle may exist. It's essential to consult with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to understand the specific regulations and processes related to registering a car without a license.
