Special REAL ID Service Hours on Monday

To help you prepare for the upcoming REAL ID deadline, PennDOT is offering special service hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday at the Bensalem Driver License Center, located at 4201 Neshaminy Blvd. Additional special service hours will also be held on April 14 and May 5.

The deadline to obtain a REAL ID is May 7. After this date, you’ll need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another federally acceptable ID (like a passport or military ID) to:

Board domestic flights
Enter military bases
Access certain federal facilities

Getting a REAL ID is optional, but it’s a good idea to plan ahead. For more information on REAL ID, required documents, and other locations, visit: REAL ID Information
