A 3277 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires hearing-impairment designation to be printed on front of driver's license.

This bill requires New Jersey to print either the international deaf symbol or a numerical hearing-impairment code on the front of special driver's licenses issued to people with significant hearing loss (a pure tone average of 41 dB or greater). Applicants must provide verification from an ENT doctor or certified audiologist, and they choose which symbol or code appears. The special license is issued at no extra cost beyond the standard driver's license fee. It directly affects New Jersey residents with qualifying hearing loss who apply for a driver's license.
