Yes, it should be possible for your mother to register and insure a car in New Jersey with her FL driver’s license. There are many seasonal residents or “snowbirds” that live part of the year in FL and the other part in a different part of the US or even abroad.
Your mother, since she is a resident of FL probably already knows that for any car she has in Florida for 90 days or more during the year that she is required to carry Florida car insurance of personal injury protection (PIP) and property damage liability (PDL) car insurance for on that car.
For information on how to register a car in New Jersey you mother can contact the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission.
