The Complete New Jersey Dealer License Guide (2023)

In order to start your operations as a car seller in New Jersey, you will need to get a New Jersey dealer license from the state Motor Vehicle Commission.
The licensing process for dealer license applicants in New Jersey is fairly straightforward. You will need to complete and submit the application forms, pay the respective fees, and once you are pre-approved, provide insurance and an auto dealer bond.
For a detailed breakdown of the licensing process in New Jersey, consult the guide below.
5. Apply with your full document set
When you have completed the NJ dealer license application form and collected all the necessary documents, mail them to the Motor Vehicle Commission at:
Motor Vehicle Commission
Business Licensing Services Bureau
Dealer Licensing Unit
P.O. Box 171
225 East State Street
Trenton, NJ 08666-0171
As soon as your application has been reviewed by the Commission, you can expect to receive a preliminary license approval. Then you will need to obtain the insurance certificate and the surety bond in order to complete your application.
Finally, in order to complete the application process, you will need to pay a $100 license fee and a $257.50 registration fee.
Once you submit these last two items and pay all applicable fees, you can expect to receive your New Jersey dealer license from the Commission by mail.
6. Renew your New Jersey dealer license yearly
NJ car dealer licenses are valid for one year and expire on March 31st every year. The Motor Vehicle Commission mails renewal papers to license holders about 60 days prior to the expiration date. Note that when renewing your license, you will also need to renew your bond.
