I'm cleaning out my wife's glove box and notice her registration is expired. I asked her if she has an updated card and she said no, and I don't remember paying for one online. How would I find out if I already paid for one, or how would I go about getting a new one? I tried going to the NJMVC site and calling the phone # to no avail. Thanks in advance

Speed on a local roadway, get pulled over by the police, and they'll let you know if that registration is good or not.

Can't you just check your credit card statements and paypal account?

As an aside...I recommend the Somerville dmv if you are interested the area. I have never waited more than 10 minutes.

Have been through this - they will tell you that they send you your renewal info as a "courtesy" - but it is your 'responsibility' to monitor your renewal requirements - and if they some how fail to send you your renewal info - they will tell you - too bad - you are still accountable. DMV is place to go to resolve this - they will have it all in the system.

You should still be able to renew it online if you have the current renewal or an old renewal notification - you just need to enter the ID off of the renewal card and it will tell you if it needs to be renewed.

I also recommend the Somerville DMV (no more late nights but open to 5:30pm I bELieve M-F and 1PMish on Saturday. Just waited about 25 minutes on Wednesday. It was a clusterf*ck parking so I parked at the CVS at the corner of Gaston Ave, bought something inside, put the recept on my front window, amnd walked the 2 minutes inside.

The clerk will tell you if your wife had paid. If so all you need is a duplicate for $5 or so.

Alsao check to see if your wife's car needs an inspection (sticker on windsheld. If she needsan inspection time such so that you are done in Somerville by 3:30PM latest. Then you can head right over to the inspection station in Plainfield (2nd street?) off of Rock Avenue on 22 East before it closes at 4:30PM weekdays. Make sure you have the license, registration and insurance cards up to date and with you at DMV. At the DMV inspection station keep your car Running for at least 10 minutes before the inspecton. Else it increases Co2? emissions and you may be too high and wont pass.

I spent 2 hours at a DMV last week to find out it was already renewed in a similar situation. Payed $5 for a duplicate.

When I got home the wife found the current registration in her wallet.

If the car is unregistered and she drives by a police car with license plate reader cameras(LPR) on it, she will get pulled over.

DMV is not what it used to be in terms of waiting. I went to the one in Cape May last week to get a new set of plates and was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I can remember spending 2 hours there back in the day.
