New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY › Chapter 21 - LICENSING SERVICE › Subchapter 15 - NEW JERSEY LICENSED MOTOR VEHICLE DEALERS AND LEASING DEALERS › Section 13:21-15.10 - Nonresident temporary registrations issued by licensed motor vehicle dealers and leasing dealers

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) A
				licensee authorized to issue temporary registrations by the Commission may, in
				accordance with this section, issue a nonresident temporary registration for a
				new or used vehicle to a nonresident person or entity that has purchased or
				leased said vehicle from such dealer or leasing dealer while enroute to another
				state or Federal district, provided that said vehicle will not be permanently
				registered in New Jersey. A bona fide sale or lease of such vehicle is a
				prerequisite to the issuance of a nonresident temporary registration.
				Nonresident temporary registrations may be issued for passenger vehicles,
				noncommercial trucks, unladen non-apportioned commercial vehicles, motorcycles
				and motorized bicycles. The nonresident temporary registration shall serve as
				both a temporary registration and marker (license plate).
(b) Licensees selling and/or leasing fewer
				than four vehicles permanently registered in New Jersey through a retail sale
				or lease in their first 12 months of operation or any 12-month period
				thereafter are not authorized to issue nonresident temporary registrations.
1. Licensees who have been issued their
				initial license and are in their first 12 months of operation will be eligible
				to issue nonresident temporary registrations. At the end of a licensee's first
				12 months of operation, the licensee shall submit the retail sales and/or lease
				contracts, or other documentation deemed necessary by the Commission, to
				determine whether the licensee sold and/or leased at least four vehicles that
				were permanently registered in New Jersey during the licensee's first 12 months
				of operation.
2. Upon request from
				the Commission, the licensee shall provide documentation of its previous year's
				retail sales and/or leases and New Jersey registration records. Licensees not
				meeting the required minimum of four retail sales or leases per year may have
				their authorization to issue nonresident temporary registrations revoked by the
				Commission.
3. For the purpose of
				this subsection only and pursuant to the definitions as found in
				N.J.S.A.
				39:1-1 et seq., the sale of motorized bikes,
				all-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, motor-drawn vehicles, trailers,
				specialty vehicles, low-speed vehicles, or mobile or manufactured homes as
				defined in
				N.J.S.A.
				52:27D-121, or any other non-traditional
				vehicle that is not required to have a motor vehicle dealer license issued by
				the Commission or not permitted to be used on public roads or highways does not
				count toward the sale and registration minimum required to obtain or maintain
				authorization to issue nonresident temporary registrations as required in this
				subsection.
4. A licensee not
				meeting the requirements to obtain or maintain authorization to issue
				nonresident temporary registrations will be notified in writing by the
				Commission and given an opportunity to request a hearing pursuant to
				N.J.A.C.
				13:21-15.14.
5. Upon written application and sufficient
				proof of minimum retail sales and/or leases, a licensee's authorization to
				issue nonresident temporary registrations may be reinstated by the
				Commission.
