Thank goodness!  N.J. has not started yet.  At least not in So. Joisey.  I have not met anyone to date that has one.

My brother lives in Cape May county.  He told me their DMV is a beta facility for the new IDs.  He was advised, the 7 point system will still be enforced. icon_exclaim.gif


@Mz iMac . I might have mentioned before that I grew up in south Jersey (Camden County) but live in PA now.  PA is just as behind as NJ with the real ID license.

Re: Real ID Deadline Postponed

I made an appointment by phone i think, and I didn't have to wait in the long line.

Re: Real ID Deadline Postponed

@bikerbabe  Thanks for sharing this! I was wondering about this the other day as I had originally planned on taking care of this the week of April 6th (when I was supposed to be on vacation from work).......

Good to know that they've extended the deadline.

i tried to order a replacement SS card online, but it said i was not eligible for some reason? i will have to go into the SS office and apply for a new one.

I went to get mine back in November but because I hadn't worked in over 45 years I didn't have a pay stub (they used to put it on them in the government) and I couldn't find my SSN card after the huge house fire we had.

 

But I recently found a lot of paperwork from when I worked for the government.  It shows my promotions, etc.  It all has my SSN on it.

 

Hopefully, that might take the place of my SSN card and/or pay stub.


It depends on what state you live in.  For some reason, the requirements vary WIDELY from state to state, which sort of defeats the purpose of the whole thing.

I had 7 forms of ID and proof of residency AND a passport, but because I did not have an actual SS card - no Real ID for me.

But I have F& F in other states that got one with a drivers license and one other ID no SSN or card and got one.

I say take a gamble and try.

Re: Real ID Deadline Postponed

When my license was last renewed, it was the first week of Real ID.  I got mine on day 4 and found the process to be quite easy.  I got it done at my local AAA office and it was easy breezy.  I live in Massachusetts, not sure if this can be done in all states at the AAA office.  There are many options in each category for ID.

@sunshine45   My daughter also tried to order a replacement SS card online but was told she was not eligible.   She has her SS card but accidentally laminated it years ago before she realized it wouldn't be valid if she did.

Re: Real ID Deadline Postponed

@Eileen in Virginia  Thanks.  Though I already had the requirements sent to me when I was notified I needed to get the new license.

 

Then when I got up in line the attendant gave me another list and actually put everything I needed (and my papers I had) into a blue plastic envelope.  I have everything except the SSN card.

 

Since my husband died I even brought just in case his death certificate.  

 

Anyway, thanks for offering.  That was very nice of  you.
