The motorist must also carry valid insurance and vehicle registration cards. (N.J.S.A. 39:3-29)  \n• A motorist with a validated New Jersey driver permit must be accompanied by an appropriately licensed driver. (N.J.S.A. 39:3-13, 39:3-13.2a)  \n• A motorist who is a legal resident of New Jersey must be licensed in this state. (N. J. S. A. 39:3-10, 39:3-17. 1)  \n• A motorist who changes addresses must report this change to the MVC within one week after moving. This includes individuals who are moving out of New Jersey. (N.J.S.A. 39:3-36)  \n• A motorist who legally changes his/her name (marriage, divorce, order of court) must report the change to the MVC within two weeks. (N.J.S.A. 39:3- 9a)  \n• A motorist with a valid out-of-state license who moves to New Jersey must apply for a New Jersey license within 60 days (commercial driver license  \n– CDL-within 30 days) or before the current license expires, whichever is sooner.
