TRENTON – Lodi Licensing Center is closed due to an employee testing positive for COVID-19, and will reopen Monday, Jan. 25, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission has announced.

The employee who tested positive was last in the Lodi Center Saturday, Jan. 9.

Seven MVC Centers remain closed due to an employee testing positive for COVID-19 at each location, and are scheduled to reopen on the following dates:

• Springfield Vehicle Center – Tuesday, Jan. 19
• Rahway Licensing Center – Tuesday, Jan. 19
• Newton Vehicle Center – Wednesday, Jan. 20

South Plainfield Licensing Center, Somerville Vehicle Center, and Delanco Licensing Center will be reopening tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 15. All three Centers will resume full operations after the closing of quarantine and full COVID-19 cleaning.

All MVC Vehicle Centers are open by appointment only, with no walk-ins allowed, while MVC Licensing Centers accept walk-in customers for first time permits, licenses, and non-driver IDs.

License/ID renewals that cannot be completed online, including for those with visa restrictions, require an appointment. Renewals are not available on a walk-in basis at Licensing Centers.

Appointments at Vehicle and Licensing Centers are scheduled 30 days in advance at NJMVC.gov. The MVC adds thousands of appointments each day, and customers should check online early in the morning and at multiple MVC locations to best secure an appointment.

If a customer can no longer make a scheduled appointment, the appointment should be canceled using the guidance in the confirmation email provided by the MVC upon booking, in order to open up the appointment slot for others.

Customers are reminded that most basic license and registration renewals and replacements can be completed online. Nearly 30 different online services and transactions are available at the MVC website.
