Does the Vienna office offer getting a real id appointment? My daughter is driving 3 hours away to get her real id so she can fly.

It seems there might be some confusion about the location. You mentioned your daughter is driving 3 hours for a Real ID appointment, and your previous question was about Jackson Parish in Louisiana. However, you’re asking if the Vienna office offers Real ID appointments, and “Vienna” typically refers to a location in Virginia.

To give you the correct information, I will assume you are asking about the Vienna, Virginia, DMV office.

Yes, the Vienna, Virginia, DMV office offers Real ID appointments.

Here’s how you can confirm and potentially schedule an appointment for your daughter:

• Visit the Virginia DMV Website: The official website for the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is the best resource for the most up-to-date information. You can find it here: https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/
• REAL ID Information: Look for the “REAL ID” section on their website. It provides details on the required documents and the steps to obtain a Real ID.
• Online Services and Appointments: The Virginia DMV offers many services online, and appointments are available for in-person visits. Look for a section like “Appointments” or “Schedule a Visit.” You can usually select the service you need (in this case, Real ID) and then choose a convenient office location (Vienna) and time.
• E-Ticket System: The Virginia DMV also has an “E-Ticket” system that allows you to reserve your spot in line for same-day service at some locations. Your daughter could check the wait times for the Vienna office and get an e-ticket on the day of her visit if appointments aren’t readily available or don’t fit her schedule.
• Required Documents: Make sure your daughter reviews the list of required documents for a Real ID in Virginia before her appointment. This typically includes:
  • One proof of identity (e.g., valid U.S. passport, birth certificate).
  • Two proofs of Virginia residency (e.g., utility bills, bank statements with her current address).
  • One proof of legal presence (if applicable).
  • Proof of her Social Security number (card or W-2 form).
  • If her name has changed, she’ll need documents to prove the name change (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decree).

Important Considerations for Flying:

• The enforcement date for Real ID for federal purposes, including flying, is May 7, 2025. Since today is May 2, 2025, she has a few more days before a Real ID is strictly required for domestic air travel. However, getting it done now is a good proactive step.
• Even without a Real ID, your daughter can still use other acceptable forms of identification for domestic air travel, such as a valid U.S. passport or a U.S. military ID. You can find a full list of acceptable IDs on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website.

To be absolutely sure about appointment availability and the specific requirements for the Vienna DMV office, I strongly recommend your daughter visit the official Virginia DMV website.

If you actually meant a “Vienna” in Louisiana, please let me know, and I can try to find information for that location. However, “Vienna” is not a commonly known large town or city in Louisiana, which is why I assumed Virginia.
