Lakewood-area drivers have another nearby option for handling motor vehicle paperwork: the Toms River MVC now offers appointments for title and registration services.
The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission announced Friday that Toms River is one of five agencies changing from licensing-only centers to hybrid agencies, offering both licensing and vehicle services.
Appointments are now available at Toms River, Bakers Basin, Camden, South Plainfield and Vineland for:
- New title or registration
- Replacement title or registration
- Registration renewal
- E-bike registration
The announcement does not include a change at the Lakewood agency. Last year, Mayor Ray Coles said the township was asking the state to return Lakewood’s MVC to a full-service location.
“Getting your NJMVC business done shouldn’t require a long trip or a long wait,” Acting NJMVC Chief Administrator Rosalie Johnson said. “With four agencies added last month and five more joining now, we’re giving customers more choices and more flexibility when it comes to accessing vehicle services.”
The latest expansion follows the addition of vehicle service appointments at Freehold, Oakland, Paterson and Rahway in October.
Drivers can schedule appointments and check service information at NJMVC.gov.
