Did you give them copies of all the supporting documents? If not you would need to bring those documents to the DMV because that's what really qualifies you for the Real ID

Certain people could be "pre-verified" for Real ID and not have to produce any additional documentation, and could apply for their Real ID entirely online, because they first applied for their ID after PennDOT had made those documents part of the standard process.

Basically if they're under the age of 35, they probably didn't need to supply any additional documentation in person because PennDOT already had it from when they first got their license.

It’s random. My brother was able to get pre-verified entirely but I had to go in. Both of us received our learners and license after 2003. Mine in 2010/2011 and his 2014/2015
