Next-of-kin registry
The following was reported on the Evesham Township Police Department’s Facebook page:
The Next-of-Kin Registry is a New Jersey statewide web based system that allows individuals at least 14 years of age to voluntarily submit and maintain emergency contact information through the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
This non-public information will only be used to by law enforcement officers to locate designated emergency contacts in an event that a person is involved in a vehicle crash that renders him or her unable to communicate.
The Next-of-Kin Registry was established in response to “Sara’s Law,” which was created in memory of Sara Elizabeth Dubinin from Sayreville. Dubinin became unresponsive following a motor vehicle crash in September 2007 and lapsed into a coma before her parents could be notified, she eventually passed away. The law sought to ensure that an emergency contact could be notified immediately in the event of a vehicle crash.
To register for next-of-kin, please click here. You will need to fill out the form with the applicant’s current zip code, driver’s license number and his/her full social security number.
Up to two emergency contacts may be entered with their first name, last name and primary 10 digit phone number. Contacts may be changed and/or added at any time by logging into the registry.
