New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signs law creating digital ID program

2025-07-24  Per Henrikson

Once the $1.5 million ID program goes live, the law will make New Jersey the 16th state to allow its residents to use mobile driver’s licenses and ID cards. Murphy said the IDs will “make life easier for drivers across New Jersey” and put the state at the forefront of innovation. The law also states that displaying a digital ID does not imply consent for law enforcement or others to search or access other phone data. It also holds that information seen while verifying identity cannot be used as probable cause for a search warrant.
