As the deadline for mandatory Real IDs approaches on May 7, New Yorkers face long waits at the DMV due to overwhelming demand. Without an appointment, many find themselves stuck outside, only to be told to make one thatâs often unavailable. Frustration levels are high as some individuals manage to get into the office without appointments while others wait in vain. Those who have secured appointments report more easily obtaining their Real IDs, highlighting a stark contrast in experiences within the same facility.
"If you get in without a reservation, they just tell you to stand there and make an appointment, even though they know there are no more reservations online."
"If you have everything you need, it's easy," said Nancy Dischiavi of Great Kills. "I was able to get my Real ID without much hassle."
