We went to the Paramus Vehicle Inspection Station last week. This was our first time here and I think this will be where we go from now on. The line went quickly and the technician who inspected our car was so friendly and nice. Exceeded expectations as I thought we would be waiting for a while. Pleasantly surprised how efficient and quick it all was here... Recommended!

I had to give a 5 star review, because of how fast I was in and out. If anyone has been driving as long as I have (or longer) knows the DMV and Inspection Stations are an all day event and can be a nightmare. Boyyyy have things changed! I came in on a Saturday late morning, an hour and half before they closed, and I was in and out within 15 minutes! Yes, FIFTEEN MINUTES!!! What a world of a difference from many years ago. Plus, the attendant I had was very quick and thorough. What more can you ask for?!?!

Such a vast difference and MUCH, MUCH easier experience than the NY vehicle inspection process. I had to get a vehicle inspection for the 1st time in NJ and wasn't sure what to expect when I visited the Paramus Vehicle Inspection Station, but it exceeded my expectations by a mile. Since my vehicle was relatively new (less than 5 years old), I didn't have to go through the typical inspection process, but instead just drive my car up to the "Manager's Office" and got my new NJ inspection sticker added to my windshield. As to how the process went....I decided to go get my new inspection sticker on a Wednesday (no appointment required) and rolled in at around 1pm. There were barely any cars there to get an inspection. I searched for the "Manager's Office" and, unbeknownst to me, it was actually just a little car port with a booth to drive up to (hence my quotes). Luckily, I was able to track down an employee who was just walking away from the booth and he provided me instructions to drive my car up to the booth. Within 2-3 minutes, I was done! I literally backed my car up into the car port, handed my new registration over to the employee and he scrapped off my NY inspection sticker and stuck my new NJ inspection sticker on. That's it! Free of charge! It was THAT easy! Of course, if I needed an actual inspection, the process might have been a bit longer, but from the looks of past reviews, it seems like it is just as smooth of a process. And mind you, the employee was friendly and informative of when I needed to get an inspection again. Simply put, this was probably the best "inspection" I ever had and I'm hoping future inspections will be just as...well...simple!

This was absolutely amazing! This is solely just an inspection station and they're SUPER fast! Unlike the one in Lodi. I promise you, you will love coming here compared to other MVCs. The staff are even nice, too

New hours inspection station is open.

Ask the Community - MVC Inspection Center

Need to update my old license with REAL ID. Is Paramus DMV the place to do it?

Your best bet is to check the MVC site to see if this location allows to update your license, cause it goes by appointment and I think this location is only for inspection, from my experience you can only renew your license in Wayne, and maybe Lodi,… 

Is it open in saturdays?

Yes

Does one need to make an appointment to get an inspection here?

as far as I know they don't take appointments. drive up and wait in line

What are the Hours?

M-F 8am - 4:30pm | Saturday 7am - 12pm | Sunday CLOSED

What are the hours for the Paramus inspection location?

is the dmv inspection station open now

Went in to renew my disability placard (no appointment required) was in and out in under 5 minutes…read more Staff was helpful and pleasant.

Expect the worst, hope for the best... well, well, well. I had a quick, easy, and seamless…read moreexperience at the MVC in Wallington. In fact, this was the BEST experience I've ever had with the NJ MVC. I usually go to the Lodi location, but I had to go to this one for a vehicle registration renewal. Appointments are REQUIRED. No walk-ins. Schedule an appointment online as soon as you can because slots fill up quickly. My appointment was for 9:25AM on a Monday. I was expecting long lines with horrendous wait times. Boy, I was wrong. I arrived half an hour early and finished in SEVEN MINUTES. I was shook! The process was simple. I walked in, checked in with my appointment, showed proof of ID, handed in my renewal application, paid, and then left. All in 7 minutes. Every single employee was patient and pleasant. No one was rude or grumpy. I know they're notorious for being rude, but sometimes I can't blame them because they deal with, uh.... some interesting characters. Tips? Read the MVC website. Some services can be done online and some require an in-person visit. Make sure you have ALLLLLL of the required documents before your visit, so there's no surprises. Print and fill out forms beforehand. Come prepared. EXTRA prepared. Don't be one of those people who complain about the MVC when you clearly came unprepared because you couldn't bother to read. LOL Thank yaaaaaaaaaaaa!

State of New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission - If you zoom this photo you see a small DMV sign there which is very weird for a high profile government office to have a board like this.

A few days ago, I left a negative review concerning the Randolph DMV. I am now changing to a…read morepositive 4* review . The error that was made was taken care of when we had to drive back to Randolph. The supervisor, when we got to her, knew,immediately what the problem was and within 1 minute it was corrected. I also must say that after I wrote my first yelp review, I received a long email from the main DMV management office expressing their apologies for the mistake. I was extremely impressed with the email and their less than 1 day response ...Cudos and thank you. Even better, the next day I received a call from the manager of the Randolph DMV also expressing his apologies for the error while thanking us for driving all the way back the next day. I thank him for taking his time to call. Through the wait was rather long, in the end, our impression of RandolphDMV changed to a positive review (though I wish the wait was shorter), but it was a Monday and they were very busy. Thanks to all who paid attention to us and quickly fixed the problem.

If i could give it 0 stars i would! Employees all seem to have an apathetic attitude plus anger…read moreissues. They are doing u a favor by working there lol. I asked one question to the person checking ID. Guess he had a lot of personal problems. He started berating me for asking. Called his mgr over as he couldn't handle the question of "will I get a pic taken" he went wild! You don't want to work there find another job. Unbelievable, what is considered acceptable today.
