Can i register a vehicle in NJ with out NJ drivers license and also get the new $4k incentive for M3RWD? I already got the VIN , i moved recently to NJ and looks like it takes almost 4 weeks for my DL to be issued ( No cannot transfer my DL from Ohio). Right now i do not see any incentive/rebate in my order page. Also, i have the delivery scheduled for 30th so want to reach out and ask what would be potential outcome?

Don‘t live there, but I’d think your legal address on day of delivery would be the deciding factor.

According to the documentation directly from the state of New Jersey I just googled, you need to have a NJ Drivers license. I would assume you have seen this already, OP, but just in case you havent:

===============================================


Qualifying for a Charge Up New Jersey incentive is easy!

  1. Be a resident of the State of New Jersey, at the time of vehicle order, purchase or lease, which will be verified by the Dealership or Showroom via a current New Jersey Driver’s License. Only a New Jersey Driver’s License is eligible for residency verification. Utility bills, tax documentation, and other items with the applicant’s address will not be accepted.
    • Active-duty military members stationed in New Jersey, with permanent residency in another state, will qualify as satisfying the New Jersey residency requirement. Current military orders will be accepted as proof of residency documentation.
    • The FY24 Program is limited to individuals only. Businesses and other commercial entities, governments, and public entities are not eligible for this incentive.
  2. Remain a resident of the State of New Jersey for at least two (2) years after the Vehicle Transaction Date for the eligible EV that receives an incentive under the FY24 Program. This requirement does not apply to customers with permanent residency in another state who qualified for the incentive because they were active duty military members stationed in New Jersey at the time they ordered, purchased, or leased their vehicle.
  3. Agree that the entirety of the vehicle transaction, including any placing of an order, for an eligible vehicle must occur on or after the official launch of the FY24 Program on July 12th, 2023, and in the State of New Jersey at a participating Dealership or Showroom.
    • Vehicles ordered in advance of July 12th, 2023, the FY24 Program launch, are not eligible for a FY24 program incentive.
    • A vehicle ordered, purchased, or leased, and/or delivered out-of-state, is not eligible for the incentive. This includes vehicles ordered online and delivered outside of the State; any vehicle ordered online must be delivered in New Jersey to qualify for the incentive.
    • New Jersey residents, or active-duty military members stationed in New Jersey, who place an order with a participating New Jersey Dealership or Showroom to deliver a vehicle in New Jersey will be deemed to have placed that order in New Jersey regardless of whether they were physically in the state at the time.
  4. Agree that the Program Administrator will deem a purchase or lease completed when the purchaser or lessee of the vehicle has executed and signed a purchase contract, lease, or security agreement.
  5. Commit to not modifying the vehicle’s emissions control systems, hardware, software calibrations, or hybrid system.
  6. Retain ownership, or an active lease agreement, and registration of the vehicle with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission for a minimum of 36 consecutive months immediately after the vehicle purchase or lease date. Customers who lease their vehicle must ensure that their original lease agreement explicitly lists a term of 36 months or longer.
  7. Acknowledge that they may receive only up to three (3) electric vehicle incentives from the Program throughout the 10-year period that the Program is active. By signing the agreement below, the applicant certifies they are eligible for this incentive and have not previously received more than two (2) during the program period.

You just need a NJ paper license, and register your new VIN for New Jersey car insurance.the DMV issues same day drivers liscenses and submits paperwork for the official card.

To get a real ID Drivers license you likely need a birth certificate or USA passport, a local utility bill, and maybe one other ID card (social security card looks like it), your Ohio drivers license should be helpful too.

you might have to take the eye test and a multiple choice drivers exam.


You can just get a NJ drivers license if you are not a USA citizen. It’s more complex but still just a trip to the DMV with a lot of paperwork.


Then pay for the license and you’re good.

This is correct. When I moved to NJ, I went to motor vehicle to apply for a NJ license and to my surprise, I got it right there! Just be sure to bring proof of residence to MV.
