New York requires a repair shop to hold a state licence or registration: the Department of Motor Vehicles issues it under N.Y. Veh. & Traf. Law § 398-c, and it is not collision-specific: the same credential covers general repair. That is the state credential behind the Otsego County numbers above; the register is the fourteen states that license body shops.
