All PA Drivers license centers are able to process Real ID requests, and verify the documents, the only downside is you at most will have to wait 15 days to receive it in the mail.

"Driver License Centers verify your documents, but your REAL ID will be mailed within 15 business days."

So if you don't have any travel coming up within 15 days, just save yourself a couple of hours and go to a regular Driver's license center that doesnt offer same day Real ID printing, bring your documents, and they will process them, you will pay, and they will ship you your new ID.

I did this, and was in and out within an hour, a couple days later I got my real ID in the mail.

I have a trip coming up in June, and need to get my real id. I’m aware that the cutoff for needing a real ID to board a plane is may 7 (tomorrow) but I went to the only Real ID center in my area on Friday (and I have been to this dmv before, walked in and walked out with my ID in a couple short hours) and the line went around the building. I decided to come back before opening time on Tuesday, got there 20 minutes before they opened and again, a line around the building. I can’t really stand around that long due to some physical issues, so again, I went home. Hoping that I can come back after the 7th and it won’t be so freaking busy, but is this just how it is now?

Background. I moved to PA from NJ last spring. My NJ license is still valid so I haven't transferred it over yet. But it expires in March and I know some states take forever to get a DMV appointment.

I've been playing on the state's website and I'm confused about driver's license centers. Are they like a DMV office in another state? Also worth noting. I will need a Real ID since I travel (domestically) for work and my passport expired last millennium.

Can someone help me. I'm in Bucks County but I'm willing to go elsewhere if needed.
