What if I don't have a PIN?
- Your PIN (Plate Identification Number) is located on the bottom right corner of your registration renewal form. The PIN is required for security.

If you need to take care of any driving- or vehicle-related tasks, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) is the place to go. More commonly known as the DMV, the MVC is your one-stop shop for anything and everything driving-related. Apply for your New Jersey license, renew your vehicle registration, or transfer vehicle ownership in a snap at a New Jersey DMV. With such a variety of services, it can be easy to get confused and
overwhelmed when you first enter a DMV office – but with a little research and reading, you should be able to get through a trip to the New Jersey DMV with ease. Finding your local New Jersey DMV office location is easy. The official website has a complete list of locations available, with valuable details such as address, hours of operation,
contact information, and services offered. It’s important to consult this list before a trip to the DMV, as it may list any last-minute, breaking information that may affect services and office hours in your area. The New Jersey DMV currently only schedules appointments for road skills tests. All other services are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. This may be disheartening to most of you; after all, who wants to
spend an entire day waiting in line at the DMV? However, there are a number of things you can do to spend your time at the DMV wisely and ensure that your quick trip doesn’t turn into a whole day affair. In order to take care of all your driving- and vehicle-related tasks, you’re likely going to have to fill out a few forms. Paperwork is an inevitable necessity at the NJ DMV, and if you’re not prepared for it ahead of time, you
could potentially spend an entire day filling out mountains of forms and applications. Fortunately, the New Jersey DMV makes it easy by giving you a complete library of its forms online to download and print, so you can fill them out ahead of time and save time and money at the office. Like other states in the country, New Jersey employs a point
system to keep its licensed drivers safe, responsible, and accountable when they’re on the road. Whenever a driver is convicted of a moving violation, points will be added to their driving record. The amount of points depends on the severity of the violation. When a driver receives 6 or more points in a three year period, they will be assessed a small surcharge or fine. When they reach 12 points, their license will be suspended for a period of time. The best way to prevent your license from being suspended is to stay on top of your New Jersey driving history. Also known as a driving record, this document highlights all of your traffic offenses, along with points associated to them, and any progress you may have towards imminent license suspension. Being fully aware of where you stand in the DMV’s eyes can be the motivation you need to improve your skills and safety on the road. You can
request a driver history abstract online, in-person, or by mail.Locate Your Nearest NJ DMV Office

Motor Vehicle Commission
The Commission traces its origin to 1906, when the Department of Motor Vehicle Registration and Regulation was established in connection with the Department of State. The Department become an independent entity in 1926 and remained so until 1948, when it was reorganized into the Division of Motor Vehicles within the Department of Law and Public Safety. The Division was moved under the Department of Transportation in 1995. In 2003, The Division was abolished and replaced with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, an entity in but not of the Department of Transportation.
The mission of the MVC is to promote motor vehicle safety for our citizens by delivering secure, effective and professional motor vehicle services, and to achieve public trust and confidence in the quality and integrity of those services.
Authorizing law(s) and reorganization plans: Chapter 113 of the Laws of 1906; Chapter 147 of the Laws of 1926; Chapter 439 of the Laws of 1948; Reorganization Plan 002-1995; Chapter 14 of the Laws of 2003
