1. What is a Business Registration Certificate and why do I need one?

Business organizations or individuals doing business in New Jersey are required to register with the Department of Treasury, Division of Revenue. Registration is free and is a one-time action - there are no fees to register. However, you should update your contact and tax eligibility information as needed. Registration is required to conduct most business with any state, county, municipal, local board of education, charter school, county college, authority, or state college or university. The contracting agency may be required to have a copy of the "proof of registration certificate" submitted as part of a public bid or prior to issuing a purchase order.

To register: Businesses must complete Form NJ-REG and submit it to the Division of Revenue. The form can be filed online or by mailing a paper form to the Division. Online filing is strongly encouraged. Form NJ-REG
