TITLE
ACORD 51 NJ (2007/06)
Permanent State of New Jersey
Insurance Identification Card
This ACORD ID card has been approved for use in New Jersey as a
permanent ID card. This new state-specific form does not replace ACORD 50 WM
(2007/03). Insurers may use either form. It cannot be used as a temporary ID card. Use
ACORD 50 NJ when a temporary ID card must be issued.
This card contains a watermark (the word ACORD), which is invisible when the form is
photocopied. This feature helps to prevent fraudulent reproduction and is required under
the new regulation.
TITLE
IMPORTANT: The watermark cannot be reproduced when ACORD 51 NJ is downloaded
from this website. Paper copies of ACORD 51 NJ that include the watermark can be
ordered from ACORD Member Services at 800-444-3341, Option 2, or by sending us an e-
mail to memberservices@acord.org. As an alternative, plain paper that includes the
watermark (ACORD 360 WM - 4 part, perforated and ACORD 370 WM - non perforated)
can also be ordered. This watermarked paper can be used in an office printer. Two cards
should be issued to the insured. One should be retained in the insured vehicle, and the
other used to provide proof of insurance at the time license plates are purchased.
If the card is being used for coverage under the New Jersey Automobile Full Insurance
Underwriting Association, wording must appear on the front of the card to that effect.
TITLE
The following phrase has been added to the back of the card:
Address for notification of commencement of medical treatment.
All fields on the card must be properly completed to comply with New Jersey regulations.
Note: The Insurance Company Number shown on the card must be the NJ DMV
Insurance Company Number for the company issuing the insurance policy. HOWEVER,
INSURERS INTENDING TO USE ACORD 51 NJ (2007/06) MUST SUBMIT A SPECIMEN
COPY OF THE ID CARD TO THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF BANKING AND
INSURANCE, IDENTIFICATION CARD UNIT, BEFORE USE. ALL FIELDS MUST BE
COMPLETED, SO THE NJDOBI CAN BE SURE THAT ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION
WILL APPEAR ON THE FORM.
