Richard Carroll | May 19, 2022
Mathieu LE RU | May 19, 2022

You do not need an appointment. You just need to show up at the gate, take a ticket and get inline. Even if you have 10 cars in front of you, the wait time is around 10 minutes, even on a Saturday morning. If you can get there in the morning or early afternoon, you might not have to wait at all. 5 minutes later, you will be on your way with a new sticker good for 2 years.

My sticker on my windshield was changed when driving on Atlantic City Blvd. Belville, N.J.reading 09/2020. Does it mean I now don't have to bring it in for inspection until then? My Registration reads Good Thru 09/2020. Please let me know

sheila puntasecca | Sep 17, 2019
Ed Triggs | Sep 17, 2019

The sticker on the windshield tells you when you're do for inspection The registration doesn't tell you when you need to get inspected. I would renew your registration before going to inspection in 2020

I registered my car and they told me i had 14 days to do inspection. What happens if i go past the 14 days?

Sinai Rubin | Sep 17, 2019
Debrah DiCenso | Sep 17, 2019

I believe you can be ticketed by the police. They can see or check that you do not have the proper tag on your license plate and the fine can be hefty so please be careful and try to get it done in time.
