When is an Appointment Mandatory?
Most US states strictly require scheduling for complex licensing transactions, driver testing, and REAL ID upgrades:
- REAL ID Upgrades: In-person appointment required. Walk-ins are rarely accepted.
- Driving Road Tests: 100% mandatory appointment. Vehicles must be registered and insured.
- License Renewals: Many states support online renewals. If in-person is required, scheduling is advised.
