Very fast and efficient experience. You need to book an appointment online. They do not accept walk-ins. I came to transfer a title, get plates, and get an initial registration for my car. The staff were professional and friendly, and I was done in about 15 minutes! I would definitely come to this facility again.

Yes, I gave the NJ DMV 5 stars. I had an appointment,, came prepared (forms filled out and the correct supporting docs, I was in and out in 10 minutes. It was like I went to a dmv in the bizarro world, but in a good way.

The fear of wasting a day at DMV is over. If you prepare, and show up on time for your appointment, it's a great experience. It took us 20 minutes to register a car, get plates and get a new title.

ID Point Requirement
To prevent identity theft, the MVC has created a 6 Point ID requirement checklist, whereby a point value is assigned to the various forms of identity that it accepts. You will need to bring:
At least 1 primary (or 4 point) document. Examples include:
Birth Certificate (see below for information about Puerto Rico and Hudson County certificates).
U.S. Passport (valid or expired no more than 3 years).
Non-driver ID card.
At least 1 secondary Examples include:
Marriage, civil union, or domestic partnership certificate.
U.S. school/college photo ID with school transcript.
Social Security card.
Proof of NJ residency (if necessary)*.
* NJ Residency Verification:
If none of your primary and/or secondary forms of ID list your current address (P.O. boxes are not accepted), then you must bring additional documentation that proves you are a New Jersey resident. Examples include:
Credit card bill.
Utility bill.
Original lease or rental agreement.

I recommend an appointment makes the process a whole lot quicker. Lady at the door taking appointments beforw anyone else & you get to wait outside of bldg. Only 2 people at a time in doorway. She is a bit mean. LOL

Can I get an examination permit at this location? Do I need an appointment?
Typically Liv | Apr 13, 2021
Kevin Johnson | Apr 14, 2021
I don't know about the examination permit but you definitely need a appointment
I was there last week and I think I heard the lady say that you can change your address on the website. And you can print the new address form to keep with your license until you need to renew your license.
You need to make an appointment online with agency, get address of agency where u made appointment, call finance company they will mail title or paperwork for you to change in nj, and of course getting your vehicle insured in nj
The others have basically said what has to be done but if you want to get in and out quickly I would try a DMV office rhatcia in a different town as in Sommerville
You need an appointment for paperwork but inspection is first come first served. If the appointments available are 2 weeks away try another one. I tried to get an appointment at rahway and it was 2 weeks so I tried Sommerville and got one 2 days from the day I tried.
Yes. Just go to https://www.state.nj.us/mvc/
Then click on the appropriate link under "Schedule and Appointment" the appointment is actually more convenient. You don't have to wait long, just make sure you have all the correct paperwork for the new title
I believe you can schedule an appointment for anything. But as of this moment all DMVs are booked into the end of December. If your interested I can get you in asap I do Dmv line sitting. I get you within the first 5 spots so your in and out before 9am. Message me for more details or search for me on Facebook- Candice Krimin

Enayet Awad | Dec 14, 2020
Eileen Frazier | Dec 15, 2020
You have to check the website to see which location has the service that you need. Certain locations provides certain services.
Not sure. But you don't have to wait in line like everyone else just to return plates. You just have to turn them in to the receptionist at the dmv, and you will get a receipt when you hand them in. I would go there first thing in the morning though, sometime in the early afternoon would probably be best.
Yes you can. Make sure you go on the website NJMVC.gov go to skip the line where you renew your license and there you should be able to request a duplicate license. Hope this was helpful.
The number of people inside the building is limited and this is how my uncle's wife went at 5am and left at 11am
My neighbor went at 2am and left at 8am it can vary depending on the day
Yes you can, just make sure you don't have the lien on the title. If you have still the lien on the title make sure and bring the last bank payment, if your title is clean go a day time pick up the form and you have to go nigh time(I recommend 2am) take a chair and sit down right next to the door to be the first 8am morning.
That's the way I did and I had succeed.

what do i need to get a license after suspension?
Robert Symanski | Nov 9, 2020
Leslie Jirouschek | Nov 10, 2020
This I can't answer as I do not work at the DMV. However, if you can get a ride over to the office, just walk in and ask the at the desk. There is usually a short line, especially on Fridays! The woman at the desk is very nice and extremely knowledgeable. It's easier to find out what you need to do to get reinstated by visiting the Somerville DMV than trying to call the DMV on the phone, but that is another option for you. Google NJ DMV...they are in Trenton. Hope this helps!

The Somerville DMV is very efficient and customer friendly. Bet you can get the real I'd quicker than you thought!

You need your license and existing (valid) registration. Bring your credit card and insurance card too. If you lost the current registration, you may need to ask.
what ID for new licensei
jean baker | Nov 10, 2018
Erik “E T” T | Nov 11, 2018
"7 points" ID. Look up on the MVC website and see how many points is each form of ID to make up 7 points total.
Passport, birth certificate, proof of residence is what you'll probably need for a new license. Getting a license reissued, you'll probably only need : proof of residence, credit card and another form of ID.
But again, best bet is to look on the website and go to the MVC Prepared!
Don't hate those working there if you don't have what is required for your needs, and are asked to come back.
