A 2347 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires MVC to issue electronic driver's licenses and identification cards upon request; allows operators of motor vehicles to display electronic driver's license.

This bill (A2347) requires New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to issue electronic driver's licenses and identification cards upon request, and allows drivers to display these electronic versions on devices like smartphones instead of physical cards. It updates existing law to explicitly permit electronic display of licenses, registration certificates, and insurance cards during traffic stops, while specifying that police cannot access other device contents. The MVC may charge a reasonable fee for electronic cards and must develop rules to prevent counterfeiting. This directly affects all New Jersey drivers and ID card holders who choose to use electronic versions.
