PennDOT has decided to temporarily suspend issuing REAL ID drivers’ licenses and photo ID cards at all of its locations in eight counties. All five Philadelphia area counties — including Chester and Delaware — as well as Berks, Lancaster and Lehigh counties are involved until March 28 at the earliest, according to a press release.
All other services will be available in those counties except for Montgomery, which has the highest number of reported COVID-19 cases.
“All Driver License Centers and Photo License Centers in Montgomery County will be closed for two weeks effective at the close of business on Thursday, March 12,” the press release said.
The following locations will be closed and reopen no sooner than Friday, March 27:
- King of Prussia Driver License and REAL ID Center, 143 S Gulph Rd, King of Prussia;
- Norristown Driver License and REAL ID Center, 1700 Markley St, Norristown;
- Huntingdon Valley Driver License and REAL ID Center, 2022 County Line Rd, Huntingdon Valley;
- Harleysville Photo License Center, 345 Main St, Harleysville;
- Ardmore Photo License Center, 30 Greenfield Ave, Ardmore; and
- Pottstown Photo License Center, 978 E High St, Pottstown.
The action is in response to Gov. Tom Wolf’s recommendations to mitigate exposure to the virus.
