Real ID Licenses
Got mine done in Washington. It was as quick as a regular license as long as you have all the credentials for it. It will get mailed to you like a regular driver's license does now.
I got mine about 6 months ago. Have your documentation in order and it is an easy process. Hardest part is getting the appointment now.

"With 63 days left before federal Real ID standards take effect on May 7, the state Motor Vehicle Commission will hold dedicated Real ID events in March and April to help drivers obtain the document needed for domestic air travel.
Beginning Thursday, March 20, MVC Licensing Centers will add nearly 4,500 new appointments on “Real ID Thursdays,” providing more opportunities for drivers to get a Real ID."
The thing I don't understand is that the requirements for the Real ID license seem to be the same requirements for a NJ license already. The last time I renewed my license I had to present my social security card, my birth certificate, and 2 utility bills to prove my address. They called it Six Points or something like that. Am I missing something?
A REAL ID is a driver’s license or state ID card that is compliant with the federal REAL ID Act passed after the 9/11 attacks.
It is issued by a state motor vehicle agency and contains a number of security features, such as a barcode and a gold star on the card, that make it more difficult to counterfeit.
A REAL ID also requires additional proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or passport, when applying.
I had to go to Patterson to get mine because that was the nearest MV office that had open appointments.
