DRIVER’S LICENSE AND REGISTRATION Fees

A New Jersey Driver’s license costs $10 for a temporary driver permit and then an additional $24 for the full, four-year license. For expatriates, the fee will be prorated based on license expiration date. Licenses expire the same date as visa and I-94. Accepted forms of payment vary dependent upon which office location is visited by the applicant. Eligibility & Residency Conditions Upon becoming a resident of New Jersey, those who wish to drive in the state apply for a driver’s license within 60 days of your move or before your current license expires, whichever occurs first. Residency is established when an individual moves into a home within the state’s borders. All applicants must complete the state’s 6 Point ID Verification Program by presenting documents that prove age, identity and legal presence in the U.S: A primary and secondary document from the list below is required: • Passport with visa and I-94 (primary document) • Social security card (secondary document and provides SSN) • Bank statement issued in the past 60 days with applicant’s name and address (proof of address); electronic printouts are not accepted • Utility or credit card bill; electronic printouts are not accepted

• Original lease; electronic printouts are not accepted • First class mail received from any federal agency
