A 5144 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires driver's licenses and identification cards issued to non-citizens to bear distinct color and include statement providing document cannot be used to vote; requires identification to vote.

This bill requires New Jersey to issue driver's licenses and identification cards to non-citizens with a distinct color and a clear statement that the document cannot be used for voting. It also mandates that voters present a valid photo ID (such as a standard driver's license, ID card, passport, military ID, or voter registration card) matching their name and current address when voting in person or submitting mail-in ballots. The bill applies to all voters and affects how the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission issues identification documents. It does not change the requirements for citizens to obtain identification documents.
