(Harrisburg, PA) The deadline to get a real identification in Pennsylvania is May 7th, 2025. A driver’s license center has within a fifteen-day period to deliver a real ID in Pennsylvania, but there are fifteen centers in the state that give out real IDs when you arrive. Pennsylvanians need an original or certified birth certificate or an unexpired passport to prove their identity to get a real ID. Pennsylvanians also need a social security card and two forms that display your present address to get a real ID and prove both their security number and address. According to PennDOT, it is $30 as a one-time fee to get a real ID including a renewal fee for your photo ID card and driver’s license.
