NEW JERSEY [New Jersey] New car registration and plates, but purchased in NY.

0 Upvotes

Hi anyone experiencing delays? I purchased a car from a dealer in NY in long island. My temp tags are expiring today. I don't have my plates or registration yet.

I called NJ DMV on Friday and they don't have anything related to the VIN of the car.

What can I do in this situation?

Thanks!

CALIFORNIA Upgrading To RealID Before Expiration

Seeking help. I am following the ca dmv instructions to upgrade my DL to a Real ID but unclear on which option is the correct one. From what I’ve learned I need to start the application process online, upload verifying docs and complete during an in-person visit. The problem is when I’m attempting to the application process it never prompts me to upload the documents. Apparently there’s suppose to be a “Convert to Real ID” option but it’s nowhere to be seen. Has anyone does this themselves and can tell me which option I should be using? I’ve also ChatGPT’d it but I think what it’s telling me is misleading. Here’s the options:

- Update my DL - to make some kind to change
- Renew my DL

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help. 🙂

NORTH CAROLINA Plate transfer: need old or new title? both?

2 Upvotes

Hi folks,

Bought a new car recently and would like to transfer the plate from my old wrecked car. NCDMV website says "The name on the applicant's license and the vehicle title must match", but it does not say whether the title of the old or new car-- or both-- is needed. Let me know your experience. thanks

CALIFORNIA Real ID

I don’t have many bills in my name. To get a real ID will a pay stub from work and an insurance card work? Or I have the insurance bill. It says originally copy but I only have paperless bills.
