Do I need a license in order to get a NJ license plate?

Question

I'm planning on buying a used car from a private seller (I'm not driving it home, but I need my own car to get a NJ license at the dmv. My current license is valid in FL and its almost expired). I'm asking because when I buy the car, will their plates stay on the car and will I transfer them into my name?

Answer 1

Your question is SO poorly worded, it is difficult to know what you are asking.   In what state is the car you are buying currently registered ?  If it is NJ, google the NJ DMV site and find out if plates stay with the vehicle or the (previous) OWNER

Answer 2

No, you need the car, or all the info and a bill of sale.
