You can’t just call the MVC and ask “Hey, am I cool?” They’ll put you on hold until your hair turns gray. Instead, you go to the New Jersey MVC website. Find the “License Status” tool. It’s hiding in a menu somewhere, like a cat in a cardboard box.
You’ll need your license number. And your date of birth. And maybe a blood sacrifice. Kidding. Sort of. It takes two minutes. Seriously. Two minutes to save yourself from a world of hassle.
Do it right now. I’ll wait. (Drums fingers on the table.) See? Was that so bad? Now you know if you’re a legal driver or a ticking ticket bomb.
