PennDOT addresses questions about documents needed for Real IDs
Harrisburg, Pa. (WTAJ) — If you have questions about getting a Real ID, you're not alone.

Mike Carroll, Secretary of Transportation, said one requirement many people are asking about is their social security card. If it's lost, he said you can bring any documents that show your full social security number, including a W2 or a 1099 tax document.

Carroll is also encouraging drivers to be patient because DMV's are seeing a surge of people trying to get their Real ID before the enforcement date of May 7. He also said that if you're not in a rush to get a Real ID, it may be be
'Real IDs have been available in Pennsylvania for over six years, and, they will still be available after May the 7th. So if you don't have immediate travel plans or you already have a valid passport, maybe hold off for a few months until the rush dies down,' Carroll said.
To get a Real ID, Pennsylvanians will also need to bring a second proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or current driver's license, two proofs of Pennsylvania residency such as a utility bill or lease agreement, and any documentation for name changes, such as a marriage certificate.
