New Jersey location guide
New Jersey permit, knowledge-test and road-test locations
The permit, knowledge test and road test can occur at different MVC service locations, so follow the appointment's listed site rather than assuming every MVC office offers every service.
- Licensing Centercredentials
- Testing Centerknowledge / road
- Driving schoolage-16 training
Licensing Centers
Use them for the initial permit and probationary/basic-license credential steps, depending on the transaction.
Driver Testing Centers
Knowledge and road testing are scheduled through MVC; use the exact location in your appointment confirmation.
Licensed driving schools
The Special Learner Permit at 16 is tied to approved behind-the-wheel training and six hours in a dual-controlled vehicle.
Verify services before traveling
MVC service offerings and appointment availability are location-specific.
Licensing Centers and road-test sites may be different stops
Use MVC's appointment system for the exact transaction. After passing the road test, probationary issuance may be available at that site or at a Licensing Center with the stamped permit and documents.
Choose the correct MVC facility type
MVC publishes separate lists for Licensing Centers, Vehicle Centers, road testing, inspections and Regional Service Centers.
Road-test locations are separate
Use the Road Testing list for your driving exam and confirm the location, appointment and test type before traveling.
