Requires MVC to create digital driver's licenses and digital non-driver identification cards.*

S 1297 requires New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to create and issue digital versions of driver's licenses and non-driver identification cards accessible on mobile devices like smartphones. These digital cards must include all information from physical licenses and feature security measures to prevent fraud, while allowing users to update records (e.g., address changes) through the digital system - where digital updates override physical card details. Residents who meet standard licensing requirements can voluntarily request a digital card, for which the MVC may charge a fee. The bill mandates that the MVC ensure system security, integrity, and compliance with data protection standards for all digital card holders.
