More Than 80K Vehicles Can Now Be Renewed or Replaced Online With MVC Expansion

NEW JERSEY — More than 80,000 New Jersey drivers will now have the opportunity to register their vehicle online following New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission's recent online service expansion.

The NJ MVC is adding 17 more vehicle types to its online registration renewal and replacement services allowing to avoid a trip to an agency.

"This announcement will impact more than 80,000 vehicles in New Jersey. It’s a significant milestone for the NJMVC as we continue to build out our capacity for online services," said NJMVC Chief Administrator Sue Fulton. "Our goal is to push as many transactions online as possible for improved customer service and convenience, and with safety and security still foremost in mind."

Utilizing a new document upload feature on the NJMVC website allows customers to upload required documents for the specific 17 registrations to be renewed or replaced online.

The NJ MVC believes this new feature will "pave the way" for more services to be offered online in the future.

As of Feb. 24, the following additional vehicle registration codes are newly eligible for online renewal and replacement:

• taxi (Code 13)
• limousine (Code 14)
• school bus I (Code 17)
• school bus II (Code 18)
• special road machinery trailer (Code 23)
• farm truck (Code 31)
• light duty tow truck (Code 32)
• heavy duty tow truck (Code 33)
• solid waste dual reg (Code 39)
• constructor dual reg (Code 41)
• farm use (Code 51)
• agricultural tractor (Code 52)
• contractor equipment in transit (Code 56)
• migrant farm worker (Code 58)
• 55,000 lbs. or commercial vehicles 55,000 lbs. or more (Code 11)
• non-commercial vehicles 55,000 lbs. (Code 16)
• ambulance no fee (Code 12)

The new feature is available to customers with vehicles in the above categories to submit documents and renew their registration online only if it has not expired before September 2021.

Additionally, customers who have received renewal notices for vehicles in the above categories with an expiration before June 2022 will not get the required PIN preprinted on their application for renewal. To renew online, these customers will have to request a PIN through the NJMVC’s online PIN request service. The PIN request service also is embedded in the process for online registration renewal at the NJMVC website.

The expansion of the online services is part of NJMVC's plan throughout the pandemic to make transactions easier for customers. As of Feb. 24, 80 percent of all transactions can now be completed online.
