Introduced·1/9/24

New Jersey S1297 mandates the creation of digital driver's licenses and identification cards by the Motor Vehicle Commission.

New Jersey S1297 requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to create and issue digital driver's licenses and identification cards accessible on mobile devices. These digital documents will include all information found on their printed counterparts and will be subject to security measures to prevent alteration or counterfeiting. The commission can charge a fee for issuing these mobile licenses and identification cards. The bill also allows individuals to update their motor vehicle records through these digital documents, with changes taking precedence over printed versions.
