NJ S3834

Identity theft victims in New Jersey may petition a court for an expedited judicial determination of factual innocence when someone has been arrested, charged, convicted, or had a criminal complaint filed using their identity

Courts finding a victim factually innocent must issue a certification order and may order court records deleted, sealed, or labeled to show the data reflects impersonation rather than the victim's identity

The Administrative Office of the Courts must establish and maintain a database of identity theft victims who have received factual innocence determinations, accessible via a toll-free number

Database access is limited to criminal justice agencies, the identity theft victims themselves, and persons or agencies authorized by the victims

Victims seeking database inclusion must submit a court order, full fingerprint set, and other required information, with identity verified against Motor Vehicle Commission records
