Mobile MVC Returning To Cranford In September

CRANFORD, NJ — Cranford Police Department’s Community Outreach Unit is bringing the mobile Motor Vehicle Commission back to Cranford in September.

The goal of the mobile unit is to help those with limited mobility or limited means to get to a traditional MVC Center. Residents can now reserve a time at the mobile unit for Tuesday, September 13.

The mobile unit can serve up to 40 customers with an additional 10 customers to be placed on a standby list.

Here are some services that may be provided by the mobile unit:

  • Driver License renewals can be processed within six (6) months of expiration and upgrading to the REAL ID driver license.
  • Registration renewals, Veteran Handicap and Purple Heart recipients’ placards.
  • Permits and Non-Driver ID.
  • License plate drop-offs are also allowed and do not count against the number of customers the MVC can serve during the event.

Residents are required to bring six points of ID and a social security card. Those who do not possess a social security card or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) may submit an affidavit form, which can be found on the MVC website www.njmvc.gov.

Instead of a social security card, a customer can present a W2 from the past tax year (2020), a current pay stub (number cannot be redacted), or a 1099 form.

The hours of operation will be from 10 am to 2 pm

The following transactions cannot be performed at the mobile unit:

  • Business vehicle registrations
  • CDL’s
  • Endorsements (aside from boats & motorcycles)
  • Knowledge tests
  • Out of State License Transfers
  • Permit tests (MVC only issues permits)
  • New Titles/Registrations (in-state or out of state)

You can register for an appointment by downloading the free Cranford PD app.
