If you don’t upgrade, you’ll have to go to a Licensing Center in person for renewal.  \nCan I change my vertical (under 21) license to a horizontal license online?  \nYes, provided you have upgraded your probationary license to a basic license (see above) . Once you have a basic license:  \n• If you are more than 6 months from your expiration date, you can request a replacement license online ON OR AFTER your 21st birthday, and you will be sent the correct horizontal license.  \n• If you are within 6 months of your expiration date, you will need to renew online. If you renew ON OR AFTER your 21st birthday, you will be sent the correct horizontal license.  \nI can’t renew my license online. Why?  \nYou may NOT be eligible to renew your license online if…  \n• Your license expired beyond the approved extension period  \n• Your license has been suspended  \n• Your license has a Temporary Visa Restriction (TVR)  \n• Your license is a CDL  \nYou can renew your license in-person at a Licensing Center.  \nI can’t renew my registration online. Why?  \nYou may NOT be eligible to renew your registration online if…  \n• Your registration expired beyond the approved extension period  \n• Your registration has been suspended.  \nYou can renew your registration in-person at a Vehicle Center.  \nUPDATED Thursday, October 1, 2020  \nAGENCIES  \nWill I have to wait all day to be served?  \n• When our Centers open at 8AM, tickets are distributed to those waiting in line, up to the total capacity for the day. Customers are told when to return for service or sent a text when they should return. We work through those customers for the rest of the day. This way no one stands outside the agency all day waiting.  \n• Just because no one is standing outside doesn’t mean we aren’t processing transactions all day. MVC continues to process transactions at a higher rate than a year ago.  \n• Average waits for road tests, driver knowledge tests, Commercial Driver license testing, and inspections are normal for pre-COVID-19 levels.  \nWhy are the lines so long?  \n• We can’t allow 100 or 200 people inside an agency like we used to. A “normal” number of people waiting at MVC in COVID times now appears as dozens in line outside the facility, due to social distancing requirements.  \n• When our Centers open at 8AM, tickets are distributed to those waiting in line, up to the total capacity for the day. Customers are told when to return for service or sent a text when they should return. We work through those customers for the rest of the day. This way no one stands outside the agency all day waiting.  \nWhat are “Licensing Centers” and “Vehicle Centers”?  \nIn order to maintain social distancing, some agencies have been designated as Licensing Centers and some as Vehicle Centers.  \nIn Vehicle Centers, we are processing vehicle transactions only:  \n• Registration/title transfers for private sales  \n• New registrations/titles, individual and in bulk.  \n• Salvage titles.  \n• License plate transactions.  \n• No renewals for unexpired registrations. Those can be done online [at NJMVC.gov](at NJMVC.gov).  \n• No license transactions.  \nIn Licensing Centers, we are processing license transactions only:  \n• First-time licenses and permits (REAL ID will be an option) .  \n• Out-of-state transfers.  \n• Expired CDLs, TVRs (temporary visa restricted licenses), and any other expired licenses not eligible for online renewal.  \n• REAL ID, only if:  \no You have an email verifying your appointment was cancelled;  \no Y","cbCaim9u6Uckojbb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim9u6Uckojbb","pdf",1660150,"English","# Online Services\n## Renewing or upgrading licenses online\n## Changing vertical to horizontal licenses online\n## Reasons you may not be eligible for online renewal\n# Agencies\n## Wait times and ticket distribution\n## Why lines may be long\n## Licensing Centers vs Vehicle Centers\n# Extensions and CDLs\n## Expiration date extensions\n## CDL and CLP extensions\n## Medical certification and HAZMAT extensions","[{\"question\":\"When can I renew or upgrade a probationary license online?\",\"answer\":\"As of October 9, you can renew/upgrade a probationary license online up to 7 months prior to the renewal date without an in-person visit.\"},{\"question\":\"What makes a customer ineligible to renew a license online?\",\"answer\":\"Online renewal may not be available if the license expired beyond the approved extension period, the license is suspended, the license has a Temporary Visa Restriction (TVR), or the license is a CDL.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the difference between Licensing Centers and Vehicle Centers?\",\"answer\":\"Vehicle Centers process vehicle transactions only (such as registration/title work for private sales and new registrations), while Licensing Centers process license transactions only (such as first-time licenses/permits and certain out-of-state transfers).\"},{\"question\":\"How were expiration dates and CDLs extended during 2020?\",\"answer\":\"Documents expiring Mar 1–May 31 were extended to September 30, and Jun 1–Aug 31 were extended to December 31.
