Though the Rensselaer County Clerk’s Office started accepting the new online RP-5217 as of January 1, 2014, the Clerk’s Office was still allowing the triplicate RP-5217 to be used.
However, effective immediately the Rensselaer County Clerk’s Office is
no longer accepting the old triplicate RP-5217.
Also, it is important to note that the form
must be fully typed and that nothing can be written except on the bottom portion.
