New York Auto ID Cards
The state of New York requires all auto policyholders have an encrypted, two-dimensional barcoded auto ID card. You can issue cards using the New York State Insurance Department software, either by manually entering the information for the card or by exporting AMS360 data to the NY State Insurance ID Card software.
This topic explains how to obtain the NY State Insurance ID Card software; install the software; get help in installing and using the software; print the NY ID card; and identify the data exported from AMS360 to the ID card.
If you insure New York state registered or garaged vehicles and want to use the NY State Insurance ID Card software, you must visit the New York State Insurance Department Licensing Bureau at https://www.dfs.ny.gov/apps_and_licensing/property_insurers/iies_instructions to:
- Obtain a private electronic key (KEY) and a personal identification number (PIN).
- Download the NY State Insurance ID Card software version 1.2 or higher (required for integration with AMS360).
Once you successfully download the NY State Insurance ID Card software, you are ready to install it.
- Locate and double-click the file iicgen12.exe. The ID Card Generate Program Wizard leads you through the installation process.
- Answer No if asked, "Do you want to install Microsoft’s XML Parser 3.0 and Microsoft Windows Installer?"
- You are prompted for a directory for installation during the NY State Insurance ID Card software installation. Vertafore Support suggests using C:\Program Files\NYSDMV\IDCardGenerate. Using this directory causes the software to install to the local workstation. Therefore, the software must be installed and configured on each workstation that will use the program to issue NY State ID cards.
You can choose to install the NY State Auto ID Card software to a network or shared drive, although this is not recommended. If you do install to a shared drive, keep the following in mind: - The setup screens (i.e., Company Codes, User Login - Issuer ID and Key Code) you complete within the NY State Insurance ID Card software are set once for all users. If these are changed at any point, they change for all users.
You have only one set of printer alignment values. So, if you use different types of printers, you may have to adjust the alignment before each printing.
