Need A Real ID In Bergen County? Try These Links For Local Mobile Appointments

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — After May 7, 2025, New Jersey residents won't be able to use their driver license as identification to get on a plane unless they've upgraded to a "Real ID."

In order to get this upgraded license, you must present certain forms of identification proving your name and address. The requirements and documents for a Real ID are spelled out here.

While those who want to upgrade their license can head to a Motor Vehicle Commission office that offers Real ID licenses, several Bergen County towns have also offered "mobile units" that stop in a local town for one day.

The appointments tend to open 30 days before the mobile unit is coming, and they fill up quickly. They've recently been offered in libraries, community centers, and other municipal buildings.

If you're interested in renewing your license or upgrading to a real ID, you can keep checking the links below to see when appointments open.

Keep in mind that some locations will only offer upgrades to licenses that aren't expiring in the next three months, while others handle licenses that are about to expire. Make sure the appointment is tailored to your needs before heading over.
