Newark New Jersey MVC Reviews and Tips

The parking was fine, plenty of space. The wait was not too long even though we have pandemic. The staff was helpful and friendly. Tip is to not let people stand too close to each other when there are not seats.

All I wanted to know was whether or not the Newark location still performs vehicle inspections. After going through a long series of automated prompts, I simply looped around back to the starting menu.Never got my question answered or allowed to speak with anyone.
