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."
https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dmv/faqs/driver-licensing-faqs/real-id-faqs.html
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.

r/philadelphia on Reddit: How to get REAL ID without waiting in line forever?
April 22, 2025 -
I went to the PennDOT REAL ID center today during lunch and the line was easily 50 people long. I saw the same outside the center near Chinatown for the past few months.
Has anyone gotten their REAL ID without waiting in such long lines? Tell me where to go and when, and thanks in advance!
(I don't remember the exact rules, but I do qualify to have my REAL ID mailed to me - I don't need it right away.)
EDITS:
I have a passport. I'll be ok. I'll probably just wait until after the deadline.
I do not qualify to have one sent by mail (EDIT without going in person to show my documents) because I got my DL prior to 2003.
For those of you chastising myself and others for waiting until the last minute, go pound sand. That's not helpful.

Head out to the suburbs or a more rural part of Pennsylvania - you can get your ID anywhere within the state.

At this point I'd wait for the lines to die down, i think they will after the deadline passes, unless you need to fly, then triple check you have the right documentation and plan to spend like 4 hours there minimum. I am skipping it until sometime in the future because I have a passport, the lines are nuts.

Tuesday, April 1, 2025. And no this isn’t April Fools joke. Was in and out in 50 minutes at the super center for getting my real ID done. Went just before opening and was in line by 7:22am. With doors opening at 7:30. I was walking out of there by 8:20am. Lines were getting longer but their process was quick and easy as long as you bring everything required.
If your address is staying the same as what’s currently on your license, you only need one form verifying address. If it’s changing, you need two forms. Passport cannot be expired if you’re using that.

Just a heads up- i changed my address online when i moved in 2021. The employee helping me thought i only needed one proof of address but i actually needed 2 by the end of the process. Used my voter id card and a printed paycheck. Better safe than sorry with the documents because they will turn you away
