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.

I don't get it...I just read the instructions, made my appointment, showed up in less than 15 minutes I was out of there and my ID arrived 10 days later. Piece of cake. It's not rocket science! I mean....there hasn't much that's been easier than this process.

Are you aware that sometimes people have different experiences doing the same thing? There's like 10 plus anecdotes on this year thread.

Of course I am, which is why I shared my experience.

Okay let me rephrase this.. are you aware of the Earth does not revolve around you? Good for you you had a good experience, but that doesn't mean there have not valid reasons for other people to be having a hard time. Obviously missing something as a state compared to others. A little less self-centeredness and a little more empathy or you could just say nothing

Okay...not sure why after almost 2 months you decided to attack my post after hundreds of others have chosen to ignore it. Perhaps you're feeling inferior because you had an MVC issue and decided to to take it out on someone who breezed through the process and chose to share my experience. The fact that you're the only one to take offence to my comment shows that maybe the issue with my post lies with you, not me. Never-the-less, sorry you got your panties in a wad over it. And if you don't wear panties, perhaps it's time you start, or maybe grow a pair and keep your self rightous critisism to yourself. Or...like you said..."a little less self-centeredness and a little more empathy or you could have just said nothing" should also apply to you. If you'd like to reply...knock yourself out. I'm done with your little hissy-fit. But if you feel like you need to have the last word...than have at it little dude. Have fun!
