New Jersey Could Make A Significant Change To Driver's Licenses

Lawmakers have approved a significant change to driver's license registrations.

If Christie signs the law, approved the Assembly and Senate, New Jersey driver’s licenses will now expire every four years, on the driver’s birthday, rather than the last day of the month it was issued.

Under current law, a person’s driver’s license expires on the last day of the 48th month after the license was issued.

Republican Assemblyman Anthony Bucco said that when deadlines are spread across the month, agency offices will more efficiently move people through the system. "This will improve efficiency and increase customer satisfaction,” he said

“We can solve the frustrating lines and delays that damage MVC’s reputation by eliminating the flood of drivers desperate to get things done before the end of the month,” said Bucco, R-Morris
