Beginning October 1, 2004, full payment of a four-year registration (reg.) is required for NEW passenger automobiles. A new vehicle is defined as one that has never been titled. For example, a new vehicle could be the latest model year vehicle, a leftover from a previous year, or perhaps a demo model.

Under New Jersey law effective July 1, 2024, zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) are subject to an annual fee in addition to the existing registration fee. The additional fee applies to any vehicle certified as a ZEV pursuant to the California Air Resources Board ZEV standards for the applicable model year. The additional fee is payable in full at the time of initial registration and at every renewal. Beginning July 1, 2024, the annual fee is $250. The annual fee increases $10 per year for four years thereafter. For new ZEV registered, four years of the additional fee is due at the time of four year registration. For example, for new ZEVs registered between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, the additional fee due and payable at the time of initial registration is for the years 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027.

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) has set up a system to help calculate the approximate registration fee. The actual fee may differ, depending upon the actual date the registration is issued, documentation submitted by the applicant, the accuracy of data entered and the MVC fee structure in effect at the time of registration.
