NJMVC Mobile Unit To Visit East Orange: Licenses, IDs, Registrations

EAST ORANGE, NJ — Need to renew a driver’s license, get a photo ID, renew a vehicle registration or get a disability placard? An upcoming visit from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission’s (NJMVC) mobile unit in East Orange will give local residents the chance to do these tasks – and more.

According to a municipal advisory, the NJMVC mobile unit will be in East Orange from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 1 at Isaiah House, 238 North Munn Avenue.

Space is limited, and interested residents should register early, officials said. Similar events in nearby towns have filled up quickly. People can sign up by contacting Eldred Bennett at ebennett@isaiahhouse.org.

Cancellations can happen due to weather or other unforseen circumstances, officials said.

Some services that will be available include:

Driver Licenses - The Mobile Units provide the opportunity for drivers to renew their license, obtain a duplicate license, change their name or address on their license, add a boat endorsement, add a veteran designation, register to vote and/or make organ donation selections.

Non-Driver Identification Cards - The Mobile Units can provide residents with photo identification that may then serve as a primary or secondary form of personal ID.

Registrations - Drivers may renew their registration or obtain a duplicate registration card for their vehicle in the Mobile Units.

REAL ID - Mobile units can provide REAL ID to a limited number of customers. Customers that have scheduled appointments for REAL IDs must arrive no later than 11:30 a.m. on the day of the appointment.
