Driver Licenses

To obtain a New Jersey driver license, you must be at least 16 years old and pass a vision test, a written knowledge test, and a road skills test. You must also provide proof of identity, residency, and legal presence in the United States.

If you are a new resident of New Jersey, you must transfer your driver license from your previous state within 30 days of establishing residency.

Vehicle Registration

All vehicles registered in New Jersey must have a valid license plate. License plates must be renewed annually.

To register a vehicle in New Jersey, you must provide proof of ownership, insurance, and emissions compliance. You must also pay a registration fee.

Vehicle Titles

A vehicle title is a legal document that proves ownership of a vehicle. When you purchase a vehicle, the seller must transfer the title to you.

To transfer a vehicle title, you must sign the title in the presence of a notary public. You must also pay a title transfer fee.
