• Many transactions can now be conducted online. Check the NJMVC online services page to see if you can “Skip the Trip” to the agency.
• Some NJMVC agency locations are now designated as Licensing Centers and some as Vehicle Centers. This means certain transactions can only be conducted at certain agencies. Licensing centers offer license and ID transactions as well as driver testing. Vehicle Centers offer registration, title, and license plate transactions. Check out this guide to determine which agency you should visit to conduct your transaction.
• While at the agency location, you may need to text and be brought into the facility with a text alert while waiting outside in your vehicle.
• If you do plan on visiting an agency, please remember to bring a face covering. All customers are required to wear face coverings when visiting an agency.
Most licenses, IDs, registrations, and other documents scheduled to expire after March 13 have been extended to July 31 or later (more info at NJMVC.gov).
Starting July 7, designated Licensing Centers will be processing new licenses and permits, out-of-state transfers, and REAL ID for those whose appointments were canceled.
Starting July 7, designated Vehicle Centers will be adding individual registration and title transactions.
Transactions that can be done online will not be available in person until further notice.
The Commission continues to urge customers to use NJMVC.gov to renew or replace licenses, renew or replace registrations, or change their address.
For Farm Vehicle Certificates call your local county Rutgers Cooperative Extension Office. Check with your local county Rutgers Cooperative Extension office to see if walk-in clients are being accepted, as status of offices differs throughout the state. Prior to receiving your certificate, an annual application form must be submitted. To save time you can print the 2020 application form yourself and mail into your county office. Please call your County Agricultural Agent for more information.
