For Real IDs, some license centers will be open Monday. Which centers are on that list
Six Pennsylvania driver license centers will be open Monday to issue Real ID cards.
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation driver license centers typically are closed on Mondays, but selected centers will be open on March 31 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to exclusively process Real ID requests.
The new federally approved ID cards will be required to board commercial airline flights or enter a military base and other types of federal facilities beginning May 7.
A Real ID is not required to drive, vote, visit the post office, access federal court, or apply for or receive federal benefits, such as social security.
