Sorry, but no.
“To sell or give your vehicle as a gift, provide the new owner with the proofs and the documents described below:
Proof of ownership
Provide the new owner with acceptable proof of ownership. Make sure that you complete the odometer and damage disclosure statements on the back of the title certificate. Complete the proof of ownership document carefully. The DMV does not accept a title certificate or another proof of ownership document that indicates the information or signatures were changed or erased.
Vehicle Proof of Ownership
Registration Refund or Transfer
Surrender Vehicle Plates and Registration Items
Temporary Surrender of a Registration (No Refund)
Transfer Vehicle Ownership (Sale or Gift)
Proof of purchase price or gift. Use form DTF-802 (Statement of Transaction for Sales Tax) to show the purchase price of the vehicle or that the vehicle is a gift. The seller or donor completes the affidavit on page two of the form and gives the form to the new owner. The new owner completes the first page of the form and gives the form to the DMV office. The DMV office collects the sales tax from the new owner if the new owner is required to pay any sales tax. If the new owner applies for an exemption from NYS sales tax for a reason different from a gift, use form DTF-803 (Claim for Exemption). You can see the current sales tax rates by jurisdiction external link at the Department of Taxation and Finance web site.
Vehicle plates and stickers. To avoid penalties, remove your vehicle plates, and your windshield registration sticker and inspection sticker. Do not allow the new owner to use your vehicle plates or stickers.
Surrender your vehicle plates to a NYSDMV office or transfer your vehicle plates to another vehicle. Do not keep your vehicle plates. Your driver license can be suspended if your liability insurance lapses and you do not surrender or transfer the vehicle plates.”
