California DMV rolls out digital driver’s license pilot program
Program allows a driver’s license on your phone. Director of California’s DMV talks about how it works, how it transforms airport check-in experience.
Fox – Ktvu
In the age of digital wallets and contactless convenience, a growing number of states are embracing the option to add driver’s licenses and state IDs to Apple Wallet.
These digital IDs can be added to iPhone users’ Wallet app alongside digital credit cards, boarding passes and event tickets.
New Jersey, though, isn’t one of them.
What states have Apple Wallet IDs?
As of now, several states have partnered with Apple to enable digital IDs. They can be added directly to Apple Wallet and used in airports, businesses, or government offices.
For instance, TSA checkpoints at several airports, including LaGuardia, JFK and Newark Liberty, already take digital IDs, and more are being added.
But, New Jersey doesn’t yet have digital driver’s licenses.
In early 2024, state lawmakers moved a bill directing the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission to develop digital driver’s licenses. But that measure gives the state six years to make it happen. The bill is winding its way through the legislative process.
Apple, though, continues to expand partnerships with more states to create Wallet-compatible IDs.
Connecticut, for example, was one of the first states to announce a digital ID rollout but hasn’t yet launched it. Lawmakers in West Virginia, New Mexico and Montana have said digital driver’s licenses are a priority.

How rare is a white Christmas and how long has it been for some cities
A white Christmas means more than 1 inch of snow is on the ground on Christmas day, but how frequently does this occur?
New Jersey experienced a frosty December — and Christmas has proved no exception.
Christmas morning temperatures accross the Garden State dipped into the low to mid-20s in much of the state, and even into the teens in higher elevations, forecasters said. While most towns saw little to no overnight snow accumulation, some lucky areas awoke to a white Christmas.
How much snow did North Jersey see?
Snowfall leading up to Christmas was light but enough to dust parts of the state with festive flurries. Bergenfield reported one of the highest accumulation, measuring 1 inch of snow on Christmas Eve. Nearby, Ramsey recorded 1.1 inches, and Sparta with 1.6 inches of snowfall.
In New Providence, Paramus and Stewartsville, snow totals were less than an inch, with each town reporting between 0.6 and 0.8 inches. Somerset logged an inch, while Wantage received 1.3 inches.
For those dreaming of a white Christmas, Bergenfield, Ramsey, Sparta and Wantage offered picturesque views, with enough snow to blanket the ground in holiday cheer. Meanwhile, other areas in the state settled for a chilly but snow-free holiday.
Whether blanketed in white or simply bundled up, New Jersey residents should brace for continued cold as the year comes to a close.
