This lifetime number will appear on all licenses and permits. The CID# is used whenever making a transaction or checking on permit status on the license website. Once a CID# is assigned, a customer can also access their information using other identifying information, such as their Social Security Number and date of birth. Go to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nj.aspirafocus.com\/internetsales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/nj.aspirafocus.com\/internetsales<\/a> to create a record and receive your CID#.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers should also complete the annual Child Support Certification process when first establishing their CID#.
