FYI, the Social Security card isn't required for a Real ID, according to the MVC Website.

You can use a paystub with your SSN or a W2/1099. And there's also a new option for you to write your SSN on the application and the MVC will verify it electronically.

I read all that on their website too. Except going through their menu of picking docs, every time I picked "write it in", it printed out "SS card"! Made me nervous enough to rummage out my actual card. Also none of my income documents have the complete number, just the last four.

While I was at the second station at the MVC there was a guy several spots down raging at them that the website had told him what he had was adequate, and the first station had also passed him, and now they were telling him that he had wasted 2 hours because it wasn't! Definitely did not want to be that guy...

I tried to use my W2 and they told me no. It’s not a government document.

I don't know what to tell you. It says right on their website that it's accepted as long as it was issued in the last year. I don't see any requirement for it to be a government document (just like a bank statement isn't a govt doc).
