Americans forced to obtain Real IDs are left stranded after hitting roadblock
Briefly

The deadline for obtaining Real IDs is fast approaching, causing significant appointment shortages in New Jersey. Starting May 7, travelers must possess a Real ID at domestic airports and some federal buildings. Despite available appointments for other services, Real ID slots show zero availability. The NJDMV has begun increasing the number of appointments daily, but the existing demand remains extraordinarily high. With over 1.3 million Real IDs issued, residents are urged to book renewals to meet federal requirements, with valid passports serving as an alternative identification method.
"As seen in states across the country, the demand for Real ID now is extraordinarily high ahead of the start of federal enforcement in May."
"The upcoming enforcement date is most relevant for those New Jerseyans who plan to fly domestically in the short term and do not have a form of identification that will meet federal real ID requirements."
