Q: Isn’t there be a better way to renew your license and get a REAL ID from the DMV without waiting for hours even with an appointment?

Isn’t it fun being “backwards”?
That’s surprising. I’m in Alabama and recently got a Real ID. I didn’t have to wait long at all.
I guess it depends on which town/county you’re in.
My bad.
“Isn’t it fun being “backwards”?”
It sure is:)
I was in and out in no time. No muss, no fuss.
It can be a real blessing living in a “backwards” Southern small town:)
It was in 2007 that Bush finally agreed and Real ID was delayed. The really poor states were able to delay it further with Lousiana, Missouri, Arkansas, and some others delaying until Oct 2018
“My bad”
Your good.
Someday anyway.
I’ve had my license renewed and had to test the last three times.
If you prefer to avoid that experience, drive to the nearest small town DMV. It's worth a long drive.
LOL.
Hopefully not anytime soon. Although there have been some very scary games.
ROLL TIDE!!
Yeah, a common term. I have an old Nissan Pick-up that fills that need
CT really solved this problem using AAA—no membership required and no long lines with the obese masses at a DMV office in urban squalor.
You can just walk into a AAA office in a posh building in a fancy suburb and take in the sights of the beautiful soccer moms while conducting DMV business.
(Don’t tell anyone the secret. :-) )
_That_ part of life has gotten _much_ better!
I just went to the DMV in Virginia and that happened to the people next to me. The driver’s license was considered proof of identification but they needed a passport as proof of citizenship to do anything, like register their car.

DMV is government at work. There is no competition. If you don’t like your DMV office, you can go to another one, but it’s the same there.
The “workers” have no reason to treat you with respect, or to work hard. If you complain, it does no good. If they’re non-White, they won’t be fired. If one is incompetent, going to the next one won’t matter - he’s incompetent too.
Down on the MS Gulf Coast ot’s a snap - have to renew in person every other time and can do it on-line for the rest....last time I went in, I was offered a double-term renewal and I jumped on it. Also never have long waits when it comes to tag renewal time - well staffed and they all work to take care of their customers....
So you don’t need it unless you are going to fly?
We have a perfectly good real ID system already in place. Fedzilla should just issue all citizens a passport, renewed periodically at no out of pocket cost to the citizen. FWIW, I don’t use my NYS drivers license for ID. I use my passport, and there are never any issues.
Nah. I prefer the drivers license for day to day life. It is rare when I leave the country. A driver’s license fits in my wallet too.

Ah, but NYS offers 3 kinds of ID. 3 guesses why. I just use my passport.
