Driver's license and ID
New Jersey law requires drivers to report an address change to the MVC within one week. The MVC encourages using its online address change system, which needs an email address, and also accepts requests by mail.
Vehicle registration
If you only have a New Jersey vehicle registration and no New Jersey license or ID card, you can also process your address change online.
