5:14 p.m. - Gov. Phil Murphy and New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Chief Administrator Sue Fulton have announced that expiration dates for driver licenses, registrations, and inspection stickers will be extended.

Effective immediately, the MVC has granted a two-month extension for:

Driver licenses expiring in March, April, and May.

Registrations expiring in March, April, and May.

Inspection stickers expiring in March, April, and May.

“All residents who have their driver’s licenses, auto registration, or vehicle inspection due for a renewal by May 31 will receive an automatic two-month extension,’’ Murphy said. “Keeping New Jerseyans out of crowded Motor Vehicle agencies is another step we can take to limit exposure and hold the line against the spread of COVID-19.”

“Extending the expiration dates will reduce the numbers of customers who come through our agencies daily, helping us to reduce the risk to New Jerseyans,” Fulton said. “We also strongly encourage customers to renew their licenses and registrations online if they are eligible.”

For expiration dates falling in March, the renewal deadline is extended to May; for expiration dates falling in April, the renewal deadline is extended to June; for expiration dates falling in May, the renewal deadline is extended to July, the governor said.

Are you having flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath?

In the last 14 days have you traveled to a high-risk area for transmission of COVID-19? (mainly Europe or China)

Have you been in close contact with someone confirmed or is being evaluated for COVID-19?

Township offices will continue to be fully staffed with municipal employees to address the public's business.

"When it comes to providing the same services to our residents and visitors without having face to face contact; we are requiring you to telephone your municipal questions into the appropriate department, utilize email, fax, or postal mail to accomplish what you need to," the township said in an email alert to residents. "Where available we will take payments over the phone. Tax and (water\sewer) utility, and other payments may be left in the drop box at the front of town hall. You may also utilize online services and print forms right from our website."

To reach town hall, call 609-698-0080.
