Real ID driver's license in DC--how strict are date requirements in fact?

[Anonymous]

My DL (not real ID) expired last year. Appointments have been very booked, but I finally have one for July 2.

All the documentation requirements for real ID say no less than sixty days, but all utilities are in DH's name and bank statements, etc come out quarterly, so the 60 day rule will be difficult for a July 2 appointment. I have an SS statement from April 13, which would qualify except for the date, same with bank statement.

Medical bills apparently qualify, but I haven't had a need to go to a doctor. Someone suggested I schedule a checkup with an optometrist and use that as a bill.

Any other ideas? Would a credit card bill qualify? (Those come monthly.)

Thanks for the bolded. I was planning on using the deed--will have to check property tax bill/assessment to se if it has my name on it in addition to DH's.

You don’t have a mortgage statement with your name on it?
