Can I keep my NJ EZ Pass if I move to another state?

You can absolutely keep your NJ EZ Pass if you move to another state. One of the great things about the EZ Pass system is that it is interoperable among participating states. This means that the same EZ Pass device you have in your car can be used on highways in over a dozen states in the northeast, including New Jersey.

When you purchase an EZ Pass, you will typically do so through your home state’s transportation authority or toll agency. In this case, it would be the New Jersey Turnpike Authority or the South Jersey Transportation Authority. However, just because you purchased your EZ Pass in New Jersey does not mean you have to live in New Jersey to use it.

Once you have your EZ Pass, it is linked to your account, which is tied to your license plate and vehicle information. This means that as long as you update your account with your new address and vehicle information when you move, you can continue to use your NJ EZ Pass in your new state.

To update your account information, you will need to contact your home state’s EZ Pass agency. In the case of New Jersey, you can do this through the New Jersey EZ Pass website or by contacting their customer service hotline. They will guide you through the process of updating your account information and ensure that your EZ Pass continues to work seamlessly in your new state.

It’s important to note that while you can keep your NJ EZ Pass and use it in another state, the toll rates and policies may vary from state to state. Each participating state sets its own toll rates and policies, so it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the specific rules and regulations of the state you move to. This will help you avoid any surprises or confusion when it comes to tolls and using your EZ Pass.

In my personal experience, I have moved from one state to another and was able to keep my EZ Pass without any issues. I simply updated my account information with the new address and vehicle details, and my EZ Pass continued to work seamlessly in my new state. It was incredibly convenient not having to purchase a new device or go through the hassle of setting up a new account.
