As the Real ID deadline looms, DMV offices expect even longer lines than usual

Many people attempted to obtain REAL IDs at DMV offices ahead of the May 7 deadline, causing long wait times.
Individuals faced various challenges in securing their REAL IDs, including missing documents that required in-person visits to DMV centers.
REAL IDs are mandatory for boarding domestic flights and entering federal buildings after the May 7 deadline, according to federal mandates stemming from a 2005 law recommended by the 9/11 Commission.
The federal government has postponed the REAL ID enforcement deadline multiple times, pushing it back from May 3, 2023, to the current May 7, 2025 cutoff date.
