If you have a license from Jamaica and buy a car in New Jersey can you register and insure the vehicle without a Jersey license in NJ?

New Jersey requiries you to surrender your out-of-state license, get a NJ drivers license, change over the title and registration on your vehicle once becoming a resident of NJ.

New Jersey state law requires that any registered vehicle be covered by an insurance policy. Failure to maintain coverage can lead to higher prices for new policies, placement in the assigned risk pool, suspension or revocation of your driver’s license or registration, and additional fines and penalties.

Once you get a New Jersey license, get New Jersey Auto Insurance with CarInsurance.com.
