Holidays will have NJ MVC offices closed for two days this week

Since reopening during the pandemic, the Motor Vehicle Commission has had licenses-only and vehicles-only agencies. An advancing bill would end that.

Lawmakers push the MVC to restore all transactions to all agencies. but its chief says the current split system is so efficient they're not going back.

The MVC has tweaked the computer system to try and let drivers know appointments are available online for almost all transactions.

For all the pent-up demand in booking appointments, there was a 30% no-show rate among 150 people who signed up for a recent test session, according to the MVC. Nearly half who took it, failed.

UGGG! That's the best way to summarize how I feel after dealing or trying to, deal with the Motor Vehicle Commission here in New Jersey. What is the deal with the MVC?

Many transactions can be done online, though some people lack access or find that challenging. Eventually, the tech shift could lead to job reductions.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission has been handling the majority of its services through its website. Now, the MVC is making changes to increase those online services and better serve the public.

There's high demand for new licenses, but many people in line could conduct their transactions online instead, a spokesman said.

MVC commissioner Sue Fulton said that more appointment slots have been made available.

Motor Vehicle Commission chief says the change, made to allow for easier social distancing, has made things more efficient. But it won't stick statewide.

New drivers who face a backlog in getting their license would be allowed to drive once they pass the road test until two months after the MVC surge subsides.
