Local Motor Vehicles Agency to Reinstate Vehicle Registration Services in 2026

RARITAN TWP., N.J. (Hunterdon County) — The Hunterdon County Board of Commissioners announced the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (“NJMVC”) will restore vehicle registration services to its Flemington-area agency in 2026.

A Sept. 3 advocacy letter sent from the Hunterdon County Commissioners to NJMVC Acting Chief Administrator Latrecia Littles-Floyd, the commissioners said in part:

“Due to the facility’s inability to process vehicle registrations, Hunterdon County residents, businesses, and local governments have been required to travel to out-of-county NJMVC facilities to obtain these services. This circumstance results in increased costs, diminished productivity, and creates a competitive disadvantage for smaller county auto dealers.”

The anticipated reestablishment of registration services reverts to the pre-pandemic model of allowing drivers to complete both license and vehicle transactions at 181-B U.S. Routes 31 and 202 in Ringoes.

“I would like to thank members of the 15th, 16th, and 23rd Legislative Districts for their cooperative and bipartisan work on this issue,” Commissioner Director John E. Lanza said. “Senator Andrew Zwicker shared the development in an email with me and my colleagues, and this is welcome news for Hunterdon residents.”

The Commissioners were formally notified of the change by Acting Chief Administrator Littles-Floyd, who confirmed that the Flemington agency will become a hybrid agency. This will enable both driver’s license and vehicle transactions to be processed sometime in 2026.

“Returning vehicle registration services to the Flemington NJMVC facility is a major win for our small businesses and residents alike,” Commissioner Zachary T. Rich added. “This has been an issue that I have heard from many folks about, and I was pleased to bring this issue forward in an effort to bring about a solution.”
