How to Restore Your New Jersey License After a No-Insurance Suspension
The short answer
These are the steps the New Jersey agency lists to restore a license after a suspension for no insurance. The state's reinstatement fee is $100. New Jersey uses its own proof-of-insurance rule instead of the SR-22 name.
In New Jersey, a gap in insurance mainly affects the vehicle registration; the steps below follow the state's own process.
Steps listed by the New Jersey agency
- Submit a photocopy of your current NJ insurance identification card, or the declaration page of your current policy (must include the VIN), to UM.INFO@MVC.NJ.GOV, by mail to NJMVC, PO Box 132, Trenton, NJ 08666, or by fax.
- If you no longer own the vehicle, surrender the registration and plates and submit the plate receipt (or an RSC-6 form).
- Pay the $100 restoration fee for each privilege suspended (license and registration) online, in person at a Regional Service Center, or by check or money order to NJMVC, P.O. Box 165, Trenton, NJ 08666-0165.
- Do not drive until you receive written notification from the MVC that your privileges have been restored.
