Hey, I’m trying to confirm an appointment tomorrow at the Sahara DMV around 4 PM to get the star on my driver’s license (Real ID). Does anyone know how I can check the time or what documents I need to bring? Also, if I can’t make it, can I still use my current license until I return in December 2024?
I think you can call the DMV office directly to confirm the time. They usually have an automated system or a number you can press to check appointments.

Thanks! I’ll give that a try. Do you know if I can reschedule online too?

Yeah, I think you can reschedule through the DMV’s website if you already have an appointment ID. Worth checking out.
For Real ID, you need your birth certificate or passport, proof of your Social Security number, and two docs showing your Nevada address, like a utility bill or bank statement.

Oh, I didn’t realize I needed two address proofs. Thanks for the heads-up! Can they be digital copies?

No problem! Nope, they need to be original or certified copies, not digital ones.
If you can’t make the appointment, your current license should still work for most things unless it’s expired. But for federal stuff, like flights, you’ll need the Real ID after the deadline.

Got it, thanks! My current license is good until December 2024, so I should be fine for now.

Yeah, you’re good until then. Just don’t forget to reschedule before it expires!
FYI, if you’re at the Sahara DMV, try to get there early. Sometimes they’re running behind, even if you have an appointment.

Good tip, thanks! Do they let you check in early, or do you just have to wait?

You can usually check in early, but it depends on how busy they are. Worst case, you just chill for a bit.
Wait, what’s a Real ID? I keep hearing about it but IDK what it’s for.

It’s the ID with a star on it. You’ll need it for federal stuff, like flying or entering government buildings, after the deadline.

Ahh, gotcha! Guess I should check if I have one already lol.
