Schedule it through Tennessee’s official REAL ID appointment page at tnrealid.gov or the Tennessee Driver Services appointment system linked from TN.gov. Tennessee says REAL ID appointments are available and encouraged, and you should choose the option for Driver License or REAL ID Appointment / REAL ID Appointment when booking.

What to do

  • Pick the appointment type for REAL ID, then select a Driver Services Center with availability.

Helpful note

If you already have a valid Tennessee license or ID and just need a REAL ID upgrade, Tennessee has also offered special REAL ID appointment slots at select centers, including some Saturday appointments when available.

Before you go

Bring the required documents, since REAL ID appointments are document-based and Tennessee recommends having everything ready before you arrive.

TL;DR: Use tnrealid.gov to schedule your Tennessee REAL ID appointment, or start from the TN Driver Services page on TN.gov.
