Paterson MVC agency closed till after Christmas
Updated Dec 15, 2020;
Drivers who usually use the Paterson MVC agency and regional service center will have to wait until the day after Christmas to conduct their business there.
The MVC extended the length of time the facility is closed until Dec. 26 after a second employee tested positive for the coronavirus. That employee was last in the agency on Dec. 10, said William Connolly, an MVC spokesman. The agency was originally scheduled to reopen on Dec. 19.
Paterson joins 14 other agencies across the state that have been temporarily closed due to the coronavirus. The closure of close to 50% of the state’s 39 agencies mirrors the spike in COVID-19 cases in the state and nation.
All MVC centers now appointment-only because of pandemic
Walk-in service at New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission centers has been eliminated for now, as 15 branch offices are closed due to employee exposure to coronavirus.
Branch offices were designated as either as licensing centers or vehicle centers upon reopening in July, after months of closure due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Eleven vehicle offices went to appointment only on Nov. 2 in a effort to eliminate long lines that saw customers camping out all night in order to get tickets that would get them service.
“We’ve made tremendous progress in clearing the backlog of registrations for newly purchased used vehicles, which enables us to move fully to an appointment system in Vehicle Centers, reducing our capacity but increasing customer convenience,” MVC Commissioner Sue Fulton said in a statement.
