Drivers Centers Starting Saturday Hours For REAL ID

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security says they will will begin offering additional Saturday appointments at 14 Driver Services Centers across the state for Tennesseans who want to get a REAL ID. The REAL ID looks like a Tennessee drivers license or ID card. But, it comes with a higher level of security. Starting May 7, anyone who wants to board a commercial flight in the US or have access to some federal offices will need to have a REAL ID. A regular drivers license will not be accepted.

Morristown/Hamblen County Driver Services Center – 1551 East Morris Boulevard, is the local center that will be open on Saturdays for a REAL ID. Saturday hours are available by appointment only. Schedule your REAL ID appointment at tnrealid.gov. Applicants without a REAL ID appointment will not be served during the new Saturday hours.

REAL ID applicants must bring proof of U.S. citizenship or legal presence, proof of their Social Security Number, and two proofs of Tennessee residency. If your name has changed, you must also bring certified legal documents supporting the name change(s). This could include marriage licenses, divorce decrees, etc. All documents must be original or certified copies. Photocopies are not accepted.
