Penalties for Driving Without A License in New Jersey

In New Jersey, along with every other state in the country, individuals need to have a driver’s license issued by their home state in order to legally drive. This seems like a no-brainer but there are still unfortunate situations where people choose to drive without a license anyway. In addition, if a driver chooses to drive even though their license is suspended, they can face serious consequences, as this is also a violation of the law.

Driver’s licenses can be suspended for any number of reasons including failure to pay a ticket, driving while intoxicated, having too many points on their license, etc. An individual who is caught driving on a suspended license will face a fine of $500 as well as an additional license suspension for up to 6 months.

A second offense for driving on a suspended license will result in a $750 fine, an additional license suspension for up to 6 months, and imprisonment for up to 5 days. A third or subsequent offense results in a $1000 fine, an additional license suspension for up to 6 months, and imprisonment for 10 days.
