The chief of New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission is telling drivers to “organize your sock drawer” or “spend more time with your kids” instead of waiting in line to renew their licenses.
Beginning with drivers whose licenses are up for renewal in October, New Jerseyans will get to renew through the mail, skipping the visit to the motor vehicle office.
Drivers who qualify for the program will get a notice in the mail about two months before their licenses expire, said Raymond Martinez, chairman of the Motor Vehicle Commission. They can still go into their local motor vehicle office if they prefer, but the state is pushing them to do it by mail.
The mail-in program – which the commission is calling “Skip the Trip” – began in November with drivers over 50 years old. Martinez announced today that the program was expanding to nearly all New Jersey drivers.
