REAL ID is a federal program that is administered by each state’s division of motor vehicles.
New Jersey’s MVC website has information about how to obtain a REAL ID and to determine if you require one now or can wait until your license expires.
For example, if you have a passport or have no plans to take a domestic flight or visit certain federal facilities, you likely do not require a REAL ID at this time. You can visit the MVC website for details.
In addition to the township's pop-up mobile unit, other opportunities to obtain a REAL ID include:
- Real ID Emergency (travel within 14 days)
nj.gov/mvc/license/realidemergency.htm - Mobile Units throughout the state. Appointments open every Tuesday between 3-4 p.m.
telegov.njportal.com/njmvcmobileunit/ - At MVC. Appointments are released 6 nights a week and available early morning
telegov.njportal.com/njmvc/AppointmentWizard - REAL ID Thursdays (every week) and Tuesdays (alternating weeks) at licensing centers throughout the state. telegov.njportal.com/njmvc/

"I want to thank Assemblywoman Flynn and the State MVC staff for their support," Hornik said. "We understand the concern regarding obtaining the REAL ID and will continue to work with the state to have the Mobile truck in Marlboro as often as possible."
Residents should keep an eye out for emails for future dates or opportunities, Hornik said.
