You can get a free New Jersey license to sell goods, wares and merchandise or to solicit trade if you are an honorably discharged veteran. You still have to register with the New Jersey Division of Taxation and collect and pay sales tax.
Contact the county clerk’s office where you want to do business, not a state office; the licence is issued by the county clerk and regulated by municipalities. To register for sales tax, call the New Jersey Division of Taxation at 609-292-6400.
Your DD214 or other proof of an honorable discharge, and photo identification.
