The New York Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (NFPA) is a state law that protects the privacy of personal information obtained from New York driver's license records. This law prohibits the unauthorized release of personal information, such as name, address, and Social Security number, from driver's license records. It also requires state motor vehicle departments to obtain a signed release from an individual before releasing any information from their driver's license records. The NFPA ensures that only those who have a legitimate need for the information can access it. There are two types of New York Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act. The first type applies to the release of personal information from driver's license records in New York, while the second type applies to the release of personal information from registration records. Both types of NFPA provide individuals with the same level of privacy protection, but the type of data released and the procedures for obtaining the data vary.
