I waited three and a half hours to get a “Real ID” in NY State.
That was two days ago, June 19th. The reason given was that the Federal Government requires “two pairs of eyes” on every form.
I basically had to wait for the second pair of eyes to get back from lunch, since I showed up at 11:10 and waited an hour to get to the first pair of eyes.
We drive to the next county seat to do any driver tests, ect. They are efficient and kind. Our local is like an inner city DMV. ‘Swag-headed’ “Cleopatras” with ‘hair hats’ yelling at us constantly. Disgraceful. Thank gawd we have a choice. Even the SS office is better.
