Driver & Owner Resources
Direct links to frequently used NYC TLC and NY DMV services. We make it faster to reach the government portal you need.
We never ask for sensitive credentials. FleetLinkr does not collect, store, or request your SSN, EIN, NY.gov password, TLC password, payment information, or any other government login credentials. Every link below opens the official government website in a new tab.
Free — no login required
Public tools you can use without an account or password.
Check if a TLC Plate is Active
Search the public NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission dataset of active for-hire vehicles. Confirm any TLC plate exists in the current active dataset — no login, no account needed.
What you’ll need
- The TLC plate number you want to check (like T123456C)
- No login or account required
- The data is public — anyone can view it. FleetLinkr does not charge for this tool.
This is the same dataset FleetLinkr uses when a listing shows "Plate matched to NYC TLC record." Data is updated daily between 4–7 PM ET.
Check if a TLC Driver License is Active
Search the public NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission dataset of active FHV drivers. Confirm any TLC driver license number exists and is in good standing — no login required.
What you’ll need
- The driver license number you want to check (6–7 digits)
- No login or account required
- The data is public. Never share your SSN or NY.gov credentials to use a public search.
This is the same dataset FleetLinkr uses when a driver verifies their license on their profile.
Check Your NY DMV License Status (Free)
Free NY DMV tool to view your own license status without ordering a paid driving-record abstract. Confirms your license is valid and in good standing.
What you’ll need
- Your NY.gov ID (free to create)
- Personal information to verify identity, as required by NY DMV
- No charge for the status check itself
This is a free status check. An official driving-record abstract is separate and costs $7 — that tool is in the section below.
Requires your government login
These services need a TLC or NY.gov login. FleetLinkr never sees or stores your credentials — you sign in directly on the government site.
Manage Your TLC License
Through the NYC TLC LARS system you can: plead guilty and pay a summons or settlement, make a license renewal payment, apply for a new license, pay applicable fees, or update your contact information online.
What you’ll need
- TLC license or application number
- Email address on file with TLC
- Payment method for eligible renewals, applications, or settlements (TLC handles payment directly on the LARS site)
- Only a summons or settlement where no personal appearance is required can be paid via LARS. If the “Personal Appearance Required” box is checked on your summons, you cannot resolve it through LARS.
Check TLC License Status
Review license status, expiration dates, application requirements, drug-test deadlines, and submitted documents via the TLC UP portal.
What you’ll need
- TLC license or application number — not your plate number
- Mailing ZIP code on file with TLC
- Last five digits of the licensee’s SSN or EIN
- Email verification for first-time users
The a156-nauf.nyc.gov subdomain is part of the official NYC government network — you are on a secure TLC portal. This is where TLC migrated the TLC UP service.
Manage NYC Traffic Tickets
Look up a NYC Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) ticket, enter a plea, pay an eligible ticket, or schedule a hearing.
What you’ll need
- Full name
- ZIP code
- Ticket number
- Violation date
- Date of birth
- Note: this service covers non-criminal moving violations issued in NYC. It does not cover parking tickets, camera violations, DWI cases, or tickets returnable to local courts.
Order Your Driving Record
Sign in through NY.gov / MyDMV to order your official driving-record abstract.
What you’ll need
- NY.gov ID (free to create if you don’t have one)
- Personal information to verify identity, as required by NY DMV
- Note: an official driving-record abstract is not free — NY DMV currently charges $7 for online Standard, Lifetime, or CDL abstracts. FleetLinkr does not charge for these links; government fees may apply.
About requesting another person’s driving record
You cannot use these tools to look up another driver’s record without their permission. A driver can obtain their own record and share it with you voluntarily. Vehicle owners or businesses that need authorized access must certify a permissible purpose under the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act and may need to use NY DMV’s LENS or DIAL-IN programs.
FleetLinkr never asks drivers to hand over NY.gov credentials or government login information.
Additional resources
- NYC parking and camera violations — Pay, dispute, or arrange payment plans through the NYC Department of Finance.
- NY DMV authorized driver-record access (LENS / DIAL-IN) — For businesses. Eligibility, permissible-use certification, and fees may apply.
