Authorizes purchaser of automobile by private sale to operate automobile for three-day period following purchase without permanent registration or transfer of title.
This bill allows individuals who privately purchase a car in New Jersey to legally drive it for three days without completing permanent registration or title transfer. To qualify, buyers must submit an online application to the Motor Vehicle Commission that includes vehicle details, seller information, and proof of insurance, after which they receive an electronic receipt and temporary license plate. The law also requires sellers to provide proof of the private sale through an online form to protect themselves from liability after the transfer. Violations of the three-day limit or false information on applications can result in fines, and law enforcement can verify temporary registration status through a maintained database.
