about five years ago i quit driving just before my license was set to expire. when it did, i just obtained a New Jersey ID and let the license expire.
fast forward to today, i'm now living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. i scheduled a written test today at the DMV, which i passed. but because my license has been expired more than a year, i have to show the Minneosta DMV my NJ driving abstract as proof of holding a valid license in the past 10 years; this is so that i can skip the 6 month permit period and go straight to taking the driving test in two weeks. but thia cannot be done without my driving abstract, apparently.
i was going to get it from their website, but it has my old New Jersey address on file. this is a problem because you can't log in to get the abstract without a User ID that they directly mail to the address on file and cannot be forwarded. and when i call, i can't get through to anyone–it's just a directory that keeps sending me in circles and then tells me they can't fit me in.
has anyone had to do something similar and obtain their abstract from NJ for an out-of-state ID? how did you do it?
Hello. I need a certified driver’s abstract. If I go to the Trenton HUB MVC can I get the whole thing same day? I initially got one through the mail but lost it in a move and need it before the 30th.
Edit: I tried but failed to talk to a real person on the phone, and live in DE (temporarily).
You should be able to go to any DMV location and get it. But you still need to make an appointment. To be safe, I would choose a licensing center in South Jersey fill your form out ahead of time. And I believe you will need a copy or at least the number of your NJ license. like there are plenty of appointments all times of the day on Monday at the South Jersey locations.
I thought you can do it online. Check their site.
