Paterson SR-22 questions
Where do I file an SR-22 in Paterson?
For New Jersey, you don't. The MVC doesn't list an SR-22 in its steps to restore a license, so there's no office to visit for one. If another state requires an SR-22 from you, the insurance company files it with that state, and a licensed agent can set it up.
Can I get car insurance in Paterson if I don't own a car?
Yes. New Jersey law recognizes a non-owner policy, which covers you when you drive a car you don't own. A licensed agent can quote one today.
