Such "walk-ins" will be allowed only for renewals, only on selected dates and only at participating locations, the MVC said.

In addition to Lodi and Oakland, eight other locations have been added to the list of those that can provide REAL ID services, bringing the total to 32 (click here to see the list).

REAL ID appointments, which are scheduled online and have been in place since the phased rollout was launched last September, will continue.

Customers can only take advantage of the "walk-in" policy from the 5th through the 20th of each month in participating agencies that are fully REAL ID-operational, said Motor Vehicle Commission Chief Administrator Sue Fulton.

Also, only drivers with licenses due to expire within three months of their walk-in visit will be eligible for a REAL ID without an appointment.
