stages, limiting in-person transactions, and encouraging customers to use NJMVC.com more often.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the MVC had forced extended closures of its agencies and inspection stations, with the possibility of reopening dates kept getting postponed.

Now, the phased re-openings, which began Monday, include drop-off and pick-up transactions at designated Licensing and also Vehicle Centers that are processing and validating driving permits from driving and high schools; also processing license plates, registrations and title work from dealers.

“With the phased reopening of the Motor Vehicle Commission, we’re passing another important milestone on the road back,” said N.J. Gov. Phil Murphy.

“The MVC is implementing smart, innovative plans to safely deliver motor vehicle services to New Jerseyans as we continue to fight against COVID-19,” he said.

These reopening of the MVC services will proceed in a way that safeguards public health and safety, bringing many changes and improved efficiencies to the Commission operations.

Going forward, around June 29, the MVC will also possibly allow road tests, issue new licenses and permits, and maybe also conduct out-of-state transactions such as transfers and private sales registrations, also on a limited basis to avoid overcrowding.

“The old MVC crowded a lot of people into a lot of small spaces. We can’t operate like that in a COVID-19 world,” said Chief Administrator Sue Fulton.

“Our reopening plan re-imagines MVC workflows, with streamlined processes to clear the backlog and ensure that you spend as little time as possible at MVC,” she said.

The MVC also requires all customers and employees to wear a face masks at its facilities, and if they cannot do so, there will be other arrangements for their transactions.

“We have more innovations coming to speed our service, while keeping our customers and employees safe,” Fulton stated. “We look forward to sharing further plans as they are finalized.”

COVID-19 crisis pre-cautions force closure extensions for NJMVC agencies, Inspection Stations

Several New Jersey residents have been waiting to service their vehicles at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) since mid-March, but to no avail.

While most of the in-person services have been suspended due the COVID-19 Pandemic, many online ones such as vehicle registration renewal and address changes, are still accessible.

However, there is hope that in about 10 days from today, on May 11, the agencies, road testing, and inspections facilities will re-open to the general public.

“The closures are part of the Murphy Administration’s ongoing efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19,” announced NJMVC Chief Administrator Sue Fulton, last week.

In addition to expanding online services, the Commission is continuing other essential operations, including measures to support commercial trucking to keep the supply chain moving during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Drivers can process most renewals of driver licenses, non-driver IDs, registrations; customers’ changes of address, and paying fees online at www.NJMVC.gov. For the first time, this includes processing/renewing some commercial registrations.

Those who have suspended licenses can seek to get them restored, if eligible, using email instead of phone or in-person interactions with email address suspension.info@mvc.nj.gov.

“As Gov. Murphy reminds us, public gatherings represent a threat to all of us, as New Jersey works to flatten the curve in this global pandemic,” Fulton said.

“The volume of customers that typically visit our agencies would risk the health of our customers and employees alike. We will continue to strive to make as many services available online as possible.”

Fulton has adjusted the extensions for the NJMVC services twice before, starting March 16
