I couldn't get "the REAL one" because they didn't accept my PSEG mail as a form of ID because "it wasn't the actual bill." But accepted my USPS proof of address piece of mail. So now I gotta go back there by 2025 to upgrade to a REAL.

But yeah. I guess I can stick that long-ish slip in my dashboard for now? Or just leave the NY inspection sticker in there? I feel like NJ DMV set me up for failure.

Meh I'd put the white paper there AND leave the NY one. Hell I drove a land Rover that was out of inspection by 11 years and never got pulled over lol. You'll be fine for Tuesday

Thaaaaat's the relief I needed to hear hahaha. I'm like "what if I don't have the right stuff in the windshield or something and before January 3 is here I get pulled over?" You get me haha.

Yeah I know lol. Your legal even if you had nothing in your window for 14 days anyway. Just leave em both you'll be fine.

You're so right. Like it's COMING haha. Couldn't have made the appointment fast enough. So I have NJ license plates front and back of the car, no registration sticker in any fashion except an outline of where my NY one just was and my NY inspection sticker in the windshield and I'll either just keep that alone or also add that white slip.

Why/where did you make an inspection appointment? Inspection is free at the MVC locations and you can go online to see how long the wait is. Your permanent license should take about a week to show up in the mail. As for the NYS inspection sticker, it is useless and invalid now that you have Jersey plates. Scrape it off and clean your windshield nicely before you get the NJ inspection. NJ inspection is emission’s only and takes about 10 minutes.

You're awesome! I'll totally look into inspection at the MVC. I scheduled what I did because I just assumed anything related to the MVC will take longer than 14 days to schedule.
