New Jersey offers a 'Skip the Trip' mail renewal service for licenses that are still valid, but you can't use it if your license has expired. You must renew in person so the MVC can take a new digital photo of you. The state uses a six-point identification system that assigns points to various types of identification you present.
For instance, a primary form of identification, like a birth certificate, is worth two points while a secondary is worth one. You must present enough identification to earn the six points necessary to begin the renewal process. The MVC also requires a vision test and an application fee. As of 2015, this fee is $24. The MVC will allow you to renew your expired license by mail if you are unable to do it in person because you are out of the state or country for an extended period.
You can renew this way for a basic automobile license (Class D) but not for a commercial driver’s license (Class A, B, C). Complete the 'Application for Driver's License' form and write a letter explaining why you can't renew in person.
