🚨 NO WALLET? NO PROBLEM. NEW JERSEY IS GOING DIGITAL — STARTING WITH YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE.

🚨 NO WALLET? NO PROBLEM. NEW JERSEY IS GOING DIGITAL — STARTING WITH YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE.

📱 Governor Phil Murphy has signed a new law that will bring mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) to smartphones across the Garden State. That means your ID will soon live right next to your credit cards — all in your phone.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • The NJ Motor Vehicle Commission has up to 6 years to roll out the digital license program.

  • Physical licenses will still be available for those who prefer a traditional card.

  • The digital option will be completely voluntary.

🛂 The law also includes strong privacy protections:

  • You can’t be forced to hand over your phone to verify ID — not even by police.

  • Displaying your digital ID does not give permission to search your phone.

  • Strict limits are in place to prevent tracking, data sharing, or unauthorized access.

🗺️ New Jersey joins 15 states + Puerto Rico that already offer digital licenses. 10 more states + D.C. are on the way.

Governor Murphy says:

“Digital driver's licenses will make life easier for drivers across New Jersey.”

The future of your wallet? Just your phone.
No card. No clutter. No kidding.
