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.

These NJ grocery stores are making it harder to buy eggs; see why
Egg prices soar in the US due to bird flu outbreak
Shoppers in the U.S. are seeing egg prices soar and purchase limits imposed due to a bird flu outbreak affecting supply.
Grocery stores across New Jersey are making it harder to snag extra eggs by enacting a purchase limit as a deadly outbreak of avian flu has caused a strain in supply, leaving grocery store shelves empty and driving up prices.
Walmart, Trader Joe’s and Costco, which have several locations across the Garden State, are the latest in a handful of retailers scrambling to keep eggs in stock while limiting purchases to curb customer hoarding.
Trader Joe’s is limiting egg purchases to one carton per customer, per day, to ensure shoppers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they shop, the grocery store said in a Monday statement to USA TODAY.
The egg crisis has been documented heavily on social media, with customers disheartened by empty shelves and skyrocketing prices. Here’s a list of the stores that are limiting their customers’ purchasing powers, or enacting slightly different rules.
Are there egg limits at Trader Joe’s?
Trader Joe’s is limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer per day in all stores across the U.S., the grocer confirmed with USA TODAY.
Are there eggs limits at Costco?
Costco, which has over 20 locations in New Jersey, said it is limiting customers to three cartons of eggs per visit, aiming to prevent individuals from buying excessive amounts to ensure others have access to eggs, CNN reported. The store typically sells two- and four-dozen cartons.
Are there egg limits at Walmart?
Walmart said they are not imposing purchase limits nationally, except on 60-count cartons, which have been limited to two per purchase, a spokesperson for the retailer told USA TODAY on Tuesday.
Are there egg limits at Whole Foods?
Several media outlets including Tasting Table have reported Whole Foods is limiting customers to three cartons per customer.
Are there egg limits at Aldi?
Aldi, which has 63 locations in New Jersey, has not announced a company-wide policy regarding egg shortages, although egg availability appears to affect certain stores. For example, a customer turned to Reddit on Sunday to share a sign at the Aldi in Edison that limited customers to two cartons.
Why is there an egg shortage?
Eggs are becoming difficult to find due to the rise in highly pathogenic avian influenza, a strain of what is known as the bird flu. The strain has decimated the supply of egg-laying poultry since January 2022.
That, combined with factors including inflation, has directly impacted the average price of eggs. As of the end of January, the wholesale price of a large carton on eggs in the New York market rose to an average an average of $7.63 per dozen, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
