A 3671 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires MVC to issue one license plate instead of two.

This bill changes New Jersey's license plate requirement from two plates (front and rear) to a single plate displayed only on the rear of most vehicles. It directly affects all standard vehicle owners who currently have two plates, requiring them to return one plate to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) and display just one rear plate. The bill amends state law to specify that the single plate must be shown on the rear, with exceptions for motorcycles, commercial vehicles, and certain commercial vehicles. The transition period allows existing two-plate holders to return one plate without penalty. The change takes effect four months after enactment.
