Hours and How to Make an Appointment

The Randolph office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed on weekends and state holidays. Most services require an appointment scheduled in advance through the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission website at nj.gov/mvc or by phone at 609-292-6500.

When you call, have your driver license number or Social Security number ready. The phone line is busiest between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. If you cannot reach anyone, try calling after 3 p.m. or early the next morning. Online appointment booking is usually faster and lets you see available times when ready.

Walk-in service is not available for most transactions. If you arrive without an appointment, staff will direct you to schedule one before you can be served. The exception is some title and registration services — ask at the window when you arrive if your specific task can be handled without an appointment.

What to Bring for a Driver License or Renewal

For a new driver license or renewal, bring six documents in three categories: proof of identity, proof of residency, and proof of Social Security number.

Proof of identity must be a Real ID-compliant document. Acceptable documents include a valid U.S. passport, certified birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or unexpired foreign passport with a valid U.S. visa. A Social Security card alone does not count as proof of identity.

Proof of residency shows your current New Jersey address. Acceptable documents include a recent utility bill (electric, gas, water, or internet), a lease or mortgage statement, a property tax bill, or a bank or credit card statement dated within the last 30 days. The name on the document must match the name on your identity document.

Proof of Social Security number can be your actual Social Security card, a W-2 form, a 1099 form, or a tax return. If you do not have a Social Security number, bring a letter from the Social Security Administration stating you are not may be able to access for one.

Vehicle Registration and Title Services

The Randolph office handles new vehicle registration, registration renewal, title transfers, and duplicate title requests. For any of these services, bring your vehicle identification number (VIN), proof of ownership (the current title or bill of sale), and proof of residency.

If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in New Jersey, you will also need proof of insurance and a completed process form MV-4. If you are transferring a title from another state, bring the out-of-state title and a bill of sale signed by both the seller and buyer.

Registration and title services usually take 15 to 30 minutes once you are called. Bring your appointment confirmation number or your driver license to check in at the window.

Common Reasons for Long Wait Times

Even with an appointment, you may wait 30 minutes to an hour during peak times. Thursdays and Fridays are consistently busier than Monday through Wednesday. Afternoons (after 2 p.m.) are busier than mornings. If you have flexibility, schedule your appointment for a Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

The office sometimes experiences delays when the state system is down or when a high volume of complex transactions (like commercial vehicle registrations or out-of-state title transfers) are being processed. If you arrive and the wait is longer than expected, ask staff for an estimate before you decide to wait.

If the Randolph office is too busy or you cannot get an appointment, the Morristown MVC office (at 1 Speedwell Avenue) and the Dover office (at 100 Mt. Pleasant Avenue) both handle the same services and are within 15 minutes by car.

What You Cannot Do at the Randolph Office

The Randolph DMV does not issue commercial driver licenses (CDL), handle hazmat endorsements, or conduct road tests. If you need a CDL or road test, you must go to a different MVC office. The state website lists which offices offer these services.

The office also does not issue Real ID-compliant documents if your current license is not Real ID-compliant. If your license does not have a star in the upper right corner, you will need to renew it to get Real ID status, and that renewal must happen in person at an MVC office.

Parking and Accessibility

The Randolph office has a parking lot with spaces reserved for people with disabilities. The building is wheelchair accessible, and staff can information you if you have mobility limitations. If you need special accommodations, call ahead at 609-292-6500 to let staff know what you need.

There is no public transportation directly to the office. If you do not have a car, ask a friend or family member to drive you, or use a rideshare service. The office is not within walking distance of bus stops or train stations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my license online instead of going to the office?

You can renew by mail if your license is not expiring and you do not need to change your address or photo. If your license is expiring soon or you need a new photo, you must renew in person at an MVC office. Check the back of your license to see your expiration date.

What if I lost my appointment confirmation email?

Call 609-292-6500 and provide your driver license number or Social Security number. Staff can look up your appointment and tell you the date and time. You can also log back into the MVC website and view your scheduled appointments under your account.

Do I need to bring my old license to renew?

Yes, bring your current license or ID. If you lost it, bring a police report of the loss or a statement signed by you saying it was lost. Staff will need to see what you are renewing from.

How long does it take to get a new title after I buy a car?

If you complete the title transfer at the Randolph office, you will receive a temporary registration on the spot. The permanent title arrives by mail within two to three weeks. Bring the bill of sale, the seller's title, and proof of insurance.

What if I cannot get an appointment at Randolph?

Try the Morristown office at 1 Speedwell Avenue or the Dover office at 100 Mt. Pleasant Avenue. Both are nearby and often have earlier appointment times. You can also check the MVC website to see which offices have the soonest available slots for your service type.
