Will the court in New Jersey take away your license right away if convicted of DWI?

Yes, immediately upon conviction the court notifies the Motor Vehicle Commission that your license is suspended and directs you to go right to the court clerk and surrender your license. If you don't have it, you will be permitted a short period of time to go home, get it and surrender it. If you are caught driving outside that period of time you will be charged with driving on the revoked list.
