You needed an appointment. Got turned away the first time. To my fault, I booked two weeks later, instead of one. When I showed up today (one week earlier than my appointment), they made me aware of my mistake. I was one of 5 customers in the building...I then asked if she could work with me and squeeze me in (without me cutting others). She gave me the hard no even though the work was slower than than a dunkin donuts a desolate road on your way to Vagas.

Can I go to Newton to change my name and address on my liscence
karen van houten | Oct 8, 2021
Debra Schnellbacher (Debi) | Oct 8, 2021
I doubt it since they are not a licensing center but I am not sure. I would recommend trying to make an appt and see if that service is listed.
Why my appointment wasn't honored today ? Why does it say you're open until 4:30 PM while your door is locked and no security is available o greet taxpayers ?

Were you there yesterday on Christmas Eve? There were notices that the standard schedules might change on Christmas and New Years Eve at many locations both Federal and businesses.
I've only been able to get an appt little over a month out. I registered 3 vehicles (1 new with title, 2 renewals).
If you do not have a valid PIN or its over 45 days old, you need to go in person.
When I was there just over a week ago the appts were running into January. I belive they only let you make one up to 60 days out.
Just keep checking early AM daily. I had to go 30 minutes West into Sussex County to get one less then 30 days out. Keep trying & look out west where there are less applicants requesting an appt.
On the up side I was in & out in 15 minutes.
can I do registration transfer in Newton as a walk in.

markvant | Jan 11, 2022
Erick Linares | Jan 11, 2022
To transfer title, a copy of the death certificate, a notarized affidavit and the old title need to be submitted, along with the appropriate application.
Straight out of NJ website
I saw them let someone in to do that the other day... but I can't say for sure if they allow that all the time... probably best to just make the appointment instead of potentially wasting your time on chance
Everything in person requires an appt. Check website to see if you can do it online. You might not be able to go to your preferred location. Certain locations only handle specific things now. I went to Newton for title transfer & new plates. You might have to go to another office if you can't do it online. The Website will tell you when you search for the task you need to perform. Hope that helps🤞
Is it possible for me to get my state Id here at this time?
Arkham Squire | Oct 8, 2021
Debra Schnellbacher (Debi) | Oct 8, 2021
Licensing Centers are Bakers Basin, Bayonne, Camden, Delano, Eatontown, Edison, Flemington, Freehold, Lodi, Newark, N Bergen, Oakland. Paterson, Rahway, Randolph, Rio Grande, Salem, S Plainfield, Tom's River, Vineland, Wayne & W Deptford
You have to go with the dates they offer. It would be highly unusual to find a same day appt. If you did, it might not be at a location near you. It's all driven by the type of transaction you need & which locations offer that now. Once you're there, it's highly organized (at least at Newton it was). Wishing you luck 🤞🤞

Moved to PA, can’t find my license, PA needs abstract of my license. Can I get that at the nearest NJ DMV if I come in person.
Kevin Elmer | Oct 8, 2021
Daniel Logan | Oct 8, 2021
No you cannot come in person you have to call New Jersey division of motor vehicles to make an appointment or you may be able to talk to one of the representatives over the phone and they'll probably mail it to you or you're going to have to go in person and pick it up but you have to make an appointment with them to do it
No, you can not renew your DL at Newton.
NJMVC has changed the way they do business. Visit the NJMVC website at NJMVC.gov
There you will see the following message, "Don’t come in until you’ve checked! We’ve changed the way we do business." They also have a hyperlink that says,
"Find out how to do stuff: The New MVC “CHEAT SHEET”"
Take a look.
No, at the present time an appointment is not needed for a name change on your driver's licence or non driver's ID. But note the exceptions are taking in between the appointments so it might take some time to get in. Always better to book an appointment if possible instead of waiting for a chance to get in.
NJMVC has changed they way they do business. Don’t go in person before you check the website. The website contains info on how to make an appointment and what are the required documents. PPPPP

do I need to schedule an appt to register my car
Christi Steinbach | Oct 8, 2021
Tracy L | Oct 8, 2021
Yea you do but check everyday because they have cancelations and might get in there sooner
Appointments enhance the customers experience by reducing the amount of time inside (usually less than 30-60 minutes) as well has reducing the time waiting outside the building.
No matter which agency you use, you need an appointment. Use the website and select Titles/Registration. It will open a map/list of agencies to choose. You can search and select a time. Newton is quick, in and out in 10-15 min.
You are better off with an appointment. Check the website. Walk-ins are allowed for certain transactions but DMV will only allow a certain number and can close quickly.
I got there as requested 15 minutes before for an 8:15AM, had to make a small line outside, 5 minutes, people are very friendly, helpful and nice, not the regular DMV I'm used to dealing with.

Does your facility do out of state transfer license?
Bergen Cardiology | Oct 8, 2021
Alex Lizano | Oct 8, 2021
No you should go to the website and find which places do that. This is only plates and titles. Only with appointments
Go online, select what you need to do and a prompt will pop up for you to make an appointment. It is very easy. Newton DMV is the best office in New Jersey. The most friendly employees
They do not allow walk-ins now, you have to go on their website and schedule an appointment. It's only for certain things, too. If something can be done online they want you to do it that way. They were into December for last week when I scheduled one.

Aydin | Oct 8, 2021

Duane Lester | Oct 8, 2020
K P | Oct 8, 2020
I don't think so, you'll probably have to go to the Sparta DMV and have one printed out for you.
Nope. I went to this one and arrived at 10 a.m. I finished off around 1 pm. Still a little bit of a long wait, but in my opinion, better than most of the places we have to be there at 3 a.m.
How long is the wait to get a new license with a picture? When is the best time to arrive?
Jean Hanna | Oct 8, 2020
Doug Johansen | Oct 8, 2020
They were saying yesterday at the Envy that licensing was not being done in Newton only Oakland and Rahway suggest you contact Motor Vehicle Commission and ask them where you can get it done before going in on an hour 1/2 line
My primary residence is in Florida. I have a 2nd home in New York. My boat is going to be in a marina in Forked River., New Jersey. Where do I register my boat?
Raymond Walter | Oct 8, 2020
David Melvin | Oct 8, 2020
Check the state web site. Vehicles including boats are at different locations than licenses
The wait was not bad. I strongly recommend that you go early and wait in line. I got there at 6am . The office opened at 8am. I was # 60 in the line. I was done by 9:20am. If you can get the forms you need ahead of time it will save you some time.
DMV doesn't issue the handicap parking placard. Local police issue a temporary one until the permanent arrives, along with a letter from your doctor stating the reason for the need of such a placard.
I got there at 6 am and was done by 9 am. You need to check which locations are doing ID's though. Newton is only doing things with vehicles, ie titles and registrations. Oakland, Paterson, Wayne and other are doing license things.
If my vehicle is financed in out of state but moving to New Jersey. Would I need a phyisical title? Dealership would only give me the EIN number or electronic tittle. Would that work?
Joseph Vargas | Oct 8, 2020
Lyft Account | Oct 8, 2020
Yes it will work because you don't own the vehicle yet

Chris Conklyn | Oct 8, 2020
I went Saturday, arrived at 5am and waited for them to open at 8am. I was 86 on line and finished at 10am. in Newton. Bring everything just in case. License, insurance, title, 6 pts of ID, and a check or credit card. Good luck.
Good morning would you suggest to come in how? How are the lines? Ty
Depends what time of day. I went 2 times. The best time was around 12:30-1:30. I only waited 45 minutes outside and about 15-20 minutes inside. I was registering a car, and I had already filled the form out ahead of time.
Last Saturday 7-11 the website said they were open but they were closed

Can I have an employee go to MVC and get a replacement registration for one that is lost?
Closest locations for restorations are Paterson or Newark. However, you can pay most restoration fees online at NJMVC.GOV and then go to any agency to get your licence after the restoration payment has gone through.
It is NOT a full service location. That term refers to an agency that can handle suspension issues which, in Northern New Jersey, are ONLY handled at the Newark and Paterson offices. They also do no handle Reconstructed Titles or issue antique type registration plates like at the Washington office. Newton offers the written test but not road tests. The two closest agencies for the road test are Wayne and Randolph. The Newton Inspection Station is on Moran Street about a half mile away.
What paperwork is necessary to change license plates from one state to another
Debbie Downes | Oct 9, 2019
Beatriz Aroca | Oct 9, 2019
Gather the information and documents you will need to register your vehicle. Your identification. You will need to demonstrate some government-issued identification that shows that you match the owner of the vehicle. Proof of ownership. Odometer disclosure statement. Emissions disclosure statement. Bill of sale.

Joan Lobosco | Oct 9, 2018
Rich Murray | Oct 9, 2018
All you need to do is write down your Insurance Co. And policy number on the form. That's all they need I think.
Go to MVC and bring your 6 point id. If you have a passport or receipt from when your lost license was issued bring them also. Government issued photo id can also help.
