Driving out of state with a NJ provisional license...
Is it allowed? There is no information on the DMV website, and I need something in writing. I did call DMV and a woman told me I was allowed. I took her name down but I need something in writing so my parents will relax and let me go out of state. I could try calling again and asking for that woman and having her send me a fax saying that I have permission to go out of state but I want to know what the formal rule is. Does anyone know?

i know you can't on a permit but i'm pretty sure you can on a provisional license. <3

You are subject to the VTL of the state that you're driving in. So just because you have a license in NJ, doesn't mean you meet the requirements to drive everywhere. I don't know what you mean by NJ provisional license really- whether it's a junior license or a temporary license while you await your actual state issued one, but hopefully it's the latter for your sake if you plan on driving here.
In NY for example (city and state) you cannot have a license at 16, only a permit and the only way you can have a Class D license (Full license) at 17 is with Driver's Ed- otherwise you have to wait until you're 18, so if you have NJ's equivalent of a NYS Class D full license and you're at least 17 then you should be alright. If you have a junior license, don't even try and drive here because you aren't allowed to- not even those with a NYS junior license can drive in NYC and only at limited times with restrictions in NYS.
Bottom line- wait until you have NJ's equivalent of a full driver's license and not just a provisional.
NYS Junior license law is for NYS drivers under 18 and those with out of state licenses (you are both). It's basically the same thing in NYS- With a limited use Junior license (before the 6 month mark of your 18th birthday) you can only drive in NYS for specific purposes at specific times (doctor's appointments, work, school, etc.) once you are within 6 months of your 18th birthday you are issued a full DJ license which allows you to drive 5am-9pm in areas of NYS with the no more than 2 people under 21 passenger restriction. So if you just turned 17 or aren't within 6 months of your 18th birthday, I wouldn't drive in NY.
