To renew your driver's license in New Jersey in 2025, here is what you need:
- Identification Documents:
- You must provide 6 points of ID. This includes at least one primary ID, one secondary ID, proof of Social Security Number, and proof of address.
- Examples of documents are passport, birth certificate, Social Security card, and utility bills with your address.
- Renewal Methods:
- In person: Bring your renewal form (sent by NJ MVC or picked up at the MVC), your ID documents for verification, provide your signature, and have your photo taken.
- By mail: If eligible (US citizen, license expired less than three years, and not suspended or restricted), send the completed renewal form, a check or money order for the $24 fee, copies of your 6 points of ID, and proof of your New Jersey address to the NJ MVC address.
- Online: You need your previous license, Social Security number, email, and a credit card for the $24 fee. Update your address first if changed.
- Fees:
- $24 standard renewal fee payable by credit/debit card, cash, check, or money order to NJ MVC.
- Timing:
- You can renew your license up to 7 months before its expiration.
- If your license is expired more than three years, you must start over as a new driver.
Additional notes:
- If your license is a Commercial Driver License (CDL) or you have a visa expiring soon, you must renew in person.
- Licenses are no longer printed on-site; renewed licenses are mailed to you and can take 10-20 business days to arrive.
In summary, gather your 6 points of ID, proof of address, Social Security number, your renewal form, and $24 fee. Then renew online, by mail (if eligible), or in person at the NJ MVC. This covers the general state driver license renewal requirements for New Jersey in 2025.
