Stafford Township New Jersey MVC Reviews and Tips
I went to this Mac agency to renew my registration, arriving at 4:12pm, I had no appointment, I confidently said that it was something easy without so much work, the woman at the reception looked at me very badly and answered me very rudely with a gesture on her face. angry and told me that she couldn't renew my registration because it was too late and they had finished their shift, the genie says that they close at 4:30pm, there were 18 minutes left, they pay her until 4:30pm and the windows were open and only one person was doing his papers in the window!!! the agency is completely empty

I made an appointment for a real ID in April for the office in North Cape May, it was the only available appointment for a real ID, nowhere in the paperwork did it mention that I needed to bring my marriage certificate I had 10 other points of ID, of course they gave me a pass to go to Manahawkin to run home to get my marriage certificate, when I got there, they would not let me through because it was 4 PM, they didn’t even want to consider the fact that I had driven over three hours trying to get this completed. That’s what you get when you’re a US citizen.

Terrible customer service. Make sure you’re there early bc they do not care where you came from, you will be dismissed over a couple minutes.

Questions and Answers
If one of my license plates fell off and I have one of my plates, what do I need? Since this is a leased vehicle, I got a limited power of attorney faxed to me. Anything else I need to have with me before I come to DMV?
In addition to the limited power of attorney and the license plate, you will need to bring your vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and proof of identity (e.g. driver’s license or state ID). You may also need to bring additional documents.
Please see https://www.state.nj.us/mvc/vehicles/aboutplates.htm for more information on replacing your lost license plate.
Do I need an appointment just to drop off plates on a recently sold vehicle
Yes, you need to visit a motor vehicle agency to surrender your old plates for a recently sold vehicle in New Jersey. However, appointments are not necessary. Look for a location with a plate dropbox.
Do you except walk ins for trailer registration?
