There is no reason why NJ shouldn't have it already due to the fact that we have to prove who the h3!! we are every 4 years in order to renew it.

Ever since the Homeland Security went into effect we need to show up at DMV with 6 points of ID every time we need to renew our license. At some point you do get a one time pass and can renew by mail then next time you're right back to showing up with all the paperwork.

I hope that people realize that they will need a Real I.D. to get in to government buildings, such as courthouses, and not just to travel domestically.

So no jury duty if you don't update your ID?

not sure see my post above,  might depend where the courthouse is.

Let's not forget to bring not only breakfast but, lunch & dinner plus a sleeping bag along w/your 6 points of ID.   Cause you will be there a looooooooooooong time standing OUTSIDE in a long line.  At least you will be entertained by the ARMED state troopers controlling the folks who do NOT have their 6 points & being escorted outside and/or into the paddy wagons which are lined up in the parking lot.

I have a passport.  Yet I still need to show up w/my SS card, birth certificate w/the RAISED seal, bills to prove address, etc.

NJ has NOT started issuing Real ID's yet.

@jackthebear  In Maryland, we are able to schedule an appointment on line. Back when I got my RealID, the line for those with appointments amounted to about 6 or less.  The regular line seemed to go on forever.  So thankful that I made an appointment.

We have a new technology advanced fancy DMV..recommended by friends. .....I camped out (well got there about an hour before it opened)...Even the line was automated  ....and there were lots of employees ready to serve...moved pretty quickly....got out of there in no time....

@Spurt   Ok so it looks like if you already presented ID's before they will be on file.

My next renewal I can go online so I'll have to check if I can get the star that way.

Thanks.

I'll use my passport until my DL needs to be renewed in a few years.

For the poster who received a jury summons but didn't respond because she was heading to Florida, you can delay jury duty instead of ignoring the summons.

Yep, the system will let you know. When I went online to renew online the system told me I had to go in person.....
