New Jersey residents must hold a current New Jersey driver's license to operate a vehicle in the state. The process to obtain a license includes a vision test, a written test to determine your knowledge of road safety and New Jersey law and a road test. The road test, on which a representative will accompany you, includes parallel parking, turning around, maneuvering the vehicle in reverse and adhering to the rules of the road. It is a 15 minute test and you can schedule a time to take it online. You can also reschedule a current test appointment online. Once you change your appointment, it can't be changed again for 24 hours.
