REAL ID Mobile Unit Coming To Marlboro: See When

MARLBORO, NJ — A pop-up REAL ID Mobile Unit is set to visit Marlboro at the end of July, Mayor Jonathan Hornik recently announced.

The unit will be in Marlboro on Tuesday, July 28, Hornik said.

Appointments are set to open at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, July 14. These appointments are required to obtain a REAL ID and can be made here.

"Please note that there are limited appointments available and they fill quickly," Hornik said. "Appointments are scheduled and maintained by the state MVC through the link above. The township is not able to schedule appointments."

REAL ID is a federal program that is administered by each state’s division of motor vehicles.

New Jersey’s MVC website has information about how to obtain a REAL ID and to determine if you require one now or can wait until your license expires.

For example, if you have a passport or have no plans to take a domestic flight or visit certain federal facilities, you likely do not require a REAL ID at this time. You can visit the MVC website for details.

Alongside the pop-up mobile unit, other opportunities to obtain a REAL ID include:

• Real ID Emergency (travel within 14 days) https://www.nj.gov/mvc/license/realidemergency.htm
• Mobile Units throughout the state. Appointments open every Tuesday between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. https://telegov.njportal.com/njmvcmobileunit/
• At MVC. Appointments are released six nights a week and available early morning https://telegov.njportal.com/njmvc/AppointmentWizard
• 'REAL ID Thursdays (every week) and Tuesdays (alternating weeks) at licensing centers throughout the state. https://telegov.njportal.com/njmvc/

"I want to thank Assemblywoman Flynn and the State MVC staff for their support," Hornik said. "We understand the concern regarding obtaining the REAL ID and will continue to work with the state to have the Mobile truck in Marlboro as often as possible."

Residents should keep an eye out for more township emails this summer on future dates or opportunities, township officials said.
