I need a real ID and the RMV website is telling me they have no appointments. Do I really need to have one, or can I just walk in and wait a few hours? Thanks!

I haven’t set foot in an RMV in over 10 years. AAA has been worth the price for that reason alone.

When I was at the Pittsfield DMV about a month ago, they had a line for walk-ins, and anytime someone with an appointment arrived they went right to front of that line. So you could go with no appointment but would likely be waiting for a while

Went a month ago. If you have something short, they'll tell you to go do it online. If you have something that will take longer, they'll tell you to make an appointment. I would not recommend walking in.

If you get there as they open. You can get a walk in appointment. I'm not sure about real ID. I believe you can get one but they are mailed to you a week or 2 later.

It's easier and cheaper to get a passport card.

I’m a member of AAA. I go to their sites and they do almost everything. Just find a friend or family member that has a membership. I registered my car and renewed my license there. Not sure what they don’t do, but I’m sure you can look it up on line. I’ve never had to wait.
