I can't remember. I wanna say it was some sort of spider. But I really can't remember.
OT: NJ Real ID
- Thread starter Joey Bags
- Start date
I think the 4th friend, let's call him D'Artagnan, was @Trekology. He's been off the radar for the most part over the past several years but probably still kicking around.
Higgins iirc. That dude was a trip down in Tampa against USF in '08.
My Real ID appointments were canceled 3 consecutive times over the last 2 years.
F the MVD .
not questioning but asking, how the heck do they cancel your appointment and what was their reason. The NJ DMV is a complete POS. Anything you need to do, you have to find one that does that specific need. The last time my wife and I had to use this appointment system was after we went to our local location, waited on line, found out you need an appointment and that they did not handle this specific DMV need. WTF
Made an appointment for the nearest DMV that did handle it- was only a 2 day wait but it was 75 miles away.
If they canceled it, would have gone ballistic and maybe been on the news lol
I got it last year when I renewed my DL. If your license renewal doesn’t come til after the further delayed date just use your passport until your renewal date comes up.
I also believe a passport card works as a domestic travel ID, so you can use that also if you have one.

I just use my global entry card or passport. No real need for a Real ID if you have a passport...
That’s true but if you prefer not carrying those things around if you don’t need them then Real ID is good.
I always have my DL on me. I’d rather not carry extra important docs that could get lost or stolen if it’s not necessary.
Don't go to Elizabeth MVC unless you bring extra documentation. My wife went recently, brought everything required per the posted Point system on the MVC website but the Elizabeth MVC asked for addition documents (additional Points). They also indicated the MVC site instructions for points was incorrect. Which I highly doubt. My wife attempted to show them additional utility bills online via her phone but they made her leave to go find a place to print it and bring it back. When she came back she noticed they selectively allowed some people to show statements/bills via their phones and others turned away to get print copies
I really did not think otherwise.I just like to see YOGI's name in print.lolYou mean someone else said it first?
You're right, of course. But I figured everybody knows Zap's dad's the original author of the line.
I like to bring my passport on vacation in case something goes sideways and I need to flee the country real fast. Gotta always plan ahead. Real ID not gonna help you then
goto DMV is in more suburban areas... middlesex county as a whole is very diverse with immigrants.. if you go where there is less concentrated population you will do better. As @jakeknight example above confirms.
Anyone been able to get an appointment? Checked this morning and it says ZERO appointments available to just do the Real ID upgrade on a non expiring license?? How is that possible across the entire state for a program that is being enforced in the next few weeks. The odd thing is if your license is expiring and you are looking for an appt to upgrade to a real ID there are 52,000 appts available. Wouldn't it make sense to use some of those appts for the other people if the process is exactly the same?
Everyone says how wealthy NJ is. Shouldn’t the services be better?
I gave up on trying to get a real ID 4 or 5 years ago. I’ll just use my passport.
I believe if you keep checking you will stumble across an appointment. I had the same issue last year and after about 10 times an appointment popped up. I don’t know if it’s due to new appointments being added or cancellations. Be aware you may need to drive a bit.
There have been plenty of available appointments over the past 6 years that nj dmv has been doing real id’s anyone waiting until 3 weeks before it is required should have known that it would be impossible to get an appointment before May 7
This was announced years ago. Last time my license was up I just went and converted it.
It's a good lesson not to wait until the last second.

Right. All those wide-open DMV appointment schedules 5 years ago during the pandemic. How soon we forget & rewrite history.
There were even mobile MVC units that were traveling to NJ towns over the past few years to help people convert to the REAL ID. This has been publicized and extended….plenty of opportunity to have it taken care of by now.
