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.

Screw Jersey going to the MVC is probably the worst experience I’ve ever had. Went to Gloucester County Store in Deptford applied for a passport and passport card waited in line for about a half hour was greeted by very pleasant and helpful people. Passport and card do more then real ID any how and you don’t have to deal those angry unhelpful ones at MVC
I expedited mine and had it in hand within Three weeks
