A 5868 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs MVC Chief Administrator to enter into driver's license reciprocity agreement with Republic of Ireland.

This bill directs New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) Chief Administrator, with input from the Department of State, to negotiate a reciprocity agreement with the Republic of Ireland. If enacted, it would allow New Jersey license holders to obtain an Irish driver's license without tests (subject to agreement requirements), and Irish license holders to get a New Jersey license without tests. The key provision eliminates the need for driving knowledge or skills tests for eligible individuals already holding valid licenses from either jurisdiction. It directly affects residents of New Jersey and Ireland who hold valid driver's licenses and wish to drive in the other country. The agreement would take effect immediately upon signing.
