How to register a car in New Jersey
It is very important to make sure your vehicle is registered when moving to New Jersey. While there are a number of other things you will have to worry about during the moving process, registering your car should have a precedent. Once you move to New Jersey, you will have 60 days to register your car before you face a late ticket. You will need to apply in person to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to go through the vehicle registration process. Here are some of the things you will need to bring with you to complete this process. You will need:
- Have insurance
- Show your social security number
- Show a copy of your driver's license
- Submit your car's odometer
- Fill out an application for registration
When you buy a car from a dealership in New Jersey, you will be able to complete the registration process for you. Be sure to get a copy of the documents so you can get the tag easily.
If you are buying a vehicle from an individual, you will need to log in and register it. When registering a vehicle, you will need the following things:
- Ownership of the vehicle
- proof of insurance
- Your social security number
- Your New Jersey driver's license
- Vehicle odometer reading
- Registration application
The amount of money you will have to pay to register a vehicle will depend on the age and weight of the vehicle.
Before registration, you will need to pass an inspection of your car. This will also include an emissions test that will need to be passed before registration is completed. Visit the New Jersey DMV website for more information on this process.
