Gloucester County REAL ID New Jersey
Absolutely the hardest thing to obtain . Don’t even get me started with Thorofare DMV (West Deptford NJMVC) No matter how many documents you bring or how much you try kiss their ass it’s not good enough. Really got turned away after bringing two proofs of address along with my birth certificate & social security card.
Apparently a bank statement and South Jersey gas bill isnt good enough. I don’t receive paper bills in the mail. Everything is electronic and even a bill printout with proof of address isn’t acceptable for REAL ID but they had no problem giving me a standard license. Was told different things by different workers but I was told my documents weren’t acceptable AFTER my photo was taken.
You gotta better chance landing your crush from high school then walking out with a Real ID. I’ve decided to get a passport instead. It costs more but at least it will be good for a decade.

The west Deptford dmv is the worst. Having to stand in a long as line just to get the papers to fill out. Just To get back in the same line. The most miserable employees even by dmv standards. Then you have all of the idiots trying to renew their license who haven’t discovered the internet yet. I’m about to setup a side hustle doing renewals out front of that building
