NJ Driving License Question?

Question

I currently live in Florida and i am 16. I have my Florida license. I am moving to NJ this month and still want to drive. The NJ driving age is 17, whereas Florida is 16. Would I be able to receive a NJ license even though I am not 17? Or, can I just not get a NJ license, and keep my Florida plates, License, etc. Is this illegal? I don't know what to do in this situation.

Answer 1

i would say that you would now have to wait until you are 17. new jersey is pretty strict with the age and driving. you wont be able to drive without a nj license either and yes it is illegal. wait until you turn 17 and then take your written and driving test all over again.

Answer 2

You will have to wait until you are 17 and by law you must surrender your Florida plates and report your new residence.
