If you're already on NY State's Cease and Desist list, don't worry. But, are you sure you're on it? The list expired two years ago, and you had to re-file. Not sure if you're on the current list? We'll show you how to check.
First, if you KNOW you have to register, the quickest and easiest way is to do it online. Go here to register:

We suggest that you register two times, with both town names, such as Bellerose and Jamaica, or Bayside and Flushing. That helps eliminate one of the loopholes that the shady agents try to use. After you've registered with one town name, click your "BACK" button on your browser, and register again, using the second town name.
If you're not sure if you're on the current list, you can download a PDF file from NY State to check. It's 50 pages, but it's not a huge file.

Remember, you only have a couple of weeks before the June deadline kicks in.
