***UPDATE: CHANGES HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD DUE TO A COURT CHALLENGE FROM THE ACLU***

If the time is coming to renew your driver's license, after May 7th, 2012 New Jersey will be implementing a new program called "TRU ID". TRU-ID is New Jersey’s implementation of the federal REAL ID Act, which sets new standards for the issuance of driver licenses and identification cards.

Beginning May 7, 2012, all Motor Vehicle Commission customers seeking to obtain, renew or change a driver license or non-driver ID will be required to follow the MVC’s TRU-ID document requirements. These requirements will replace the existing 6 Point ID Verification document requirements. Documents presented must show proof of the following: Valid Social Security number, legal identity, legal presence in the United States and principal residence. To find out more information on what identification you will have to provide, click the TRU ID Logo image to the above left. This new license will be required to board commercial airline flights and enter federal buildings beginning December 2014.

Everyone knows a trip to Motor Vehicles can be a harrowing experience, taking sometimes hours out of your day. The MVC provides several online transactions, such as registration renewals, address change requests, and surcharge payment processing. You can go to their site by clicking the License Plate to the right.
The National Terrorism Advisory System, or NTAS, replaces the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS). This new system will more effectively communicate information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector. It recognizes that Americans all share responsibility for the nation's security, and should always be aware of the heightened risk of terrorist attack in the United States and what they should do. All residents are reminded to remain vigilant and report any activity that may seem suspicious.
