"Enhanced ID Act"; requires MVC to create and issue enhanced driver's licenses and enhanced non-driver identification cards.
New Jersey's A4774 "Enhanced ID Act" requires the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to create and issue enhanced driver's licenses and non-driver ID cards that meet federal standards for border crossings into Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean. These IDs include security features like machine-readable barcodes and encrypted radio frequency technology, and serve as proof of identity and citizenship for land/sea border crossings. Applicants must provide citizenship documentation, Social Security numbers, photographs, and pay a $30 application fee (renewal is $15), with false statements carrying third-degree crime penalties. The bill applies to all New Jersey residents seeking these specific IDs, which operate alongside standard licenses but add federal border compliance.
