I think I forgot my SS card when I went. I remember freaking out, since this was back when it was hard to get an appointment, but the guy didn't care. I may have had my passport, though (plus 2 bills showing my address). Honestly, I did this twice and am still confused. The first time I'd just moved (within DC) and thought I needed the real ID so I went in person. She didn't look at any of the documents, but my license had a star on it. The second time I got an email telling me I had to go in, and at the end of the appointment he told me I could have done it online.

Dc dmv (and really all the dmv I’ve been to) requires two things: proof of identity and proof of address. Some jurisdictions are stricter than others, but identification from an accepted source is what they’re looking for. A valid US passport should be acceptable in all US jurisdictions. Just like in most states, military ids and ids from federal agencies are also usually acceptable.

Where I was confused was regarding the Real ID requirements, in addition to the usual things. I brought everything (except my SS card the second time), but then was told I didn't need them when I got there, or didn't need to be there in person
