Earlier this year there were questions about whether New Jersey was making sufficient progress to become compliant with the federal REAL ID Act, which could impact whether you could use your driver’s license to get on an airplane. State officials say good progress is being made, and Garden State residents have nothing to worry about. The law passed by Congress in 2005 sets standards to be followed for state driver’s licenses and identity documents to be used to board an airplane or enter a federal building or nuclear power plant. According to New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Chief Administrator Ray Martinez, it’s taken several states, including New Jersey, a good bit of time to re-organize their systems in order to become compliant with the REAL ID requirements and standards. He stressed the Garden State has been granted an extension to become compliant until this October, “because the federal government understands that we are working to become compliant.” Martinez explained once the REAL ID system is up and running, New Jersey will give you a choice about what kind of driver’s license you get or renew, one that is REAL ID compliant, or one that is not. If your New Jersey driver’s license is not compliant, then you would need a passport to get on plane or enter a federal building after September 2020.
Martinez explained the requirements to get a REAL ID license will be very similar to those currently used to get a Jersey driver’s license. “But one of the things we will be doing is scanning those documents, which we don’t do now, scanning the documents that are presented, in addition to verifying them.” He said this will be done “so that in the event there is a problem, whether it’s a criminal issue or a terrorist issue, that those documents can be pulled back up to find out, well, why was this issued? Was it properly issued?” One of the REAL ID REQUIREMENTS will be to show proof of your social security number, which can be your social security card, a W2 form, a letter from the Social Security Administration or a pay stub. You will also need to present two proofs of address and a valid passport, or birth certificate or certificate of citizenship. Martinez stressed “the fall of 2020 is when all states will be required to have this in place if they want their licenses to be recognized for federal purposes.” He also reiterated “New Jersey has an extension that runs through October of this year.
Anyone who operates a motor vehicle or motor-driven cycle on public streets or highways in New Jersey is required to have a valid driver’s license or learner’s permit. A vision screening is required for all motorists. The questions on the New Jersey written knowledge test will be based on information taken from the NJ MVC, and will concern the New Jersey traffic laws, road rules, road signs and safe driving practices. The MVC written test consists of 50 questions, and you need at least 40 correct answers to pass (80%). Practice with this sample test to familiarize yourself with the format of the New Jersey driver's license test.
