Live in Jersey City. Drivers license expiring next month. Need to get mine transferred from Mass to NJ before renewal. DMV during COVID is giving out tokens at 5am and folks need to wait for 6-10 hours outside the office apparently. Does anyone know an easier way to do this? Driving schools? Brokers? Thank you!

Can do it only at DMVs. Try going to smaller DMVs. You’ll have to take a day off.

I went through this. Trick is to find a DMV outside of heavily populated area and you will have a much much lesser wait. Yes, you will need to drive a bit far, but better than standing in line.

Agreed with others. I’m in Chicago and here the afternoon hours seems to be better since driving/written tests ends at 2.00.

Online doesn’t work for everyone? Besides, NJ has designated few as vehicle registrations or license renewals. Make sure to check the category online before going.

Cool. Does anyone have any picks on ones with fewer crowds/less waiting? 3-4 options atleast. Im guessing Bayonne, Newark would be nightmares from wait time perspective

I am in same boat.. live in Jersey City, went for renewal at North Bergen dmv office.. reached there at 7 am and there were about 100-150 people standing in line.. can back home and now need to find another location with less people

Maybe try reach there before 6am or so. There’s some token system in place at few places. They r usually handed out when the dmv opens ~8

NJ licenses are valid till 31 Dec regardless of expiry date

D1: is this confirmed?

Yes

Thanks. This is helpful.

Which DMVs are best for license renewal these days in NJ?
I can take day off, and anything within 1.5 hours radius works from Newport Jersey City

Anyone from JC got the license renewed recently?

I know I am extremely blessed and thankful to god that my parents are kind and allow me this but just want advice please.

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

Anyone in the area a fan of going to outdoor breweries or bars during these times? Lost most of my social circle after a breakup a few months ago (they were her friends since I was always traveling and couldn’t meet others or join groups) and with covid it’s been difficult to find ways to meet new people and make friends so figure I’d try here. trying to find some people in the area to hang out with in smaller groups! 23 y/o M if that matters
