Authorizes purchaser of automobile by private sale to operate automobile for three-day period following purchase without permanent registration or transfer of title.
New Jersey's S 917 allows residents who buy passenger cars through private sales (from non-dealers) to drive the vehicle for up to three days without permanent registration or title transfer. To do this, buyers must submit basic details online via the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), including vehicle information, insurance proof, and the seller's name, then display a temporary license plate. The MVC will maintain a public database of these temporary registrations for law enforcement checks. Violations of the temporary registration rules carry fines up to $100, and the bill explicitly requires the vehicle to remain insured throughout the three-day period. This applies only to private sales within New Jersey where the car will be primarily garaged and registered there.
