New Jersey Statutes Title 39. Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation 39 § 13-2

a. The commission shall establish a system for the licensure of auto body repair facilities. This system may provide for licenses based upon the type or types of motor vehicles repaired by the facility and the equipment required for repair of the vehicles. At a minimum, the commission shall provide for a full service auto body repair facility license, the qualifications for which are established under section 7 of this amendatory and supplementary act, and an automobile dealer sublet license, the qualifications for which are established under section 8 of this amendatory and supplementary act. All facilities licensed pursuant to this section may hold themselves out to the public as licensed auto body repair facilities.

b. No person may engage in the business of an auto body repair facility unless it is licensed by the commission. An auto body repair facility shall be licensed by the commission upon submission and approval of an application and payment of a reasonable application fee sufficient to cover the cost of implementing the provisions of this act and to be prescribed by the commission. The commission may require biennial renewal of applications for licensure and may stagger the renewal dates and adjust the application fees accordingly.
