Best DMV by far. Renewed my license and was out in less than 30 minutes. The front desk guy was so nice and professional despite people coming unprepared and then acting like it was somehow his fault!? If you bring everything you need, it will be a breeze

Went in to renew my license and add the Real ID. I had all the required paperwork, so everything went smoothly. It was very organized. The staff were nice, courteous and knowledgeable from the reception desk to the Real ID processor to the camera person. The camera person was willing to retake my photo, which was nice, but I settled for the 1st "mug shot". All the interactions that I witnessed seemed equally the same. They explained things clearly and did not talk down to people. I was in and out in less than an hour. That was quicker than expected. With the exception of my photo not turning out as nearly as good as I thought I looked 🤪, it was a good experience.

I have a question i live in quakertown i just moved out here .do the dmv Allentown location i can apply for a PA id and get my photo taking together at this location .

Samantha Allen | Oct 17, 2019
Jonna M | Oct 17, 2019

I think you need to go online and fill out renewal form. Next, you get a camera card to take to any PA DMV. DMV takes pic and makes ID. If you just need an ID with your new address on it, go online and request free address update card.

For payment, can it be a personal check or does it have to be a cashier's check?

Piotr Terasz | Oct 17, 2019
Richard A Pastor | Mar 20, 2022

How much to update my address on ID card?

Chris Lopez | Sep 25, 2022
Caryn L Laubach | Sep 25, 2022

I believe you can just do that online for free. If it's not time to renew your ID card, they'll just send you (or you can print out) a paper card with the change of address. You would carry that with you along with your ID card until it's time to renew with a new photo. I've done that with my driver's license a few times.

Bring a $5 check or money order to obtain a new one
