Krispy Kreme is giving out free doughnuts for Real ID, Star ID deadline

If you’re headed to the DMV on May 7 to get a REAL ID (or, a STAR ID in Alabama), you can get a Krispy Kreme doughnut as a stress reliever.

The coffee and doughnut chain is offering patrons a free doughnut on May 7, the deadline to get a REAL ID, or state-issued driver’s license and identification card that meets the security requirements established by the 2005 REAL ID Act.

“The DMV can be stressful enough in normal times, but we know May 7 is going to be ‘next level’ stress for many Americans trying to get their REAL ID,” said Dave Skena, Chief Growth Officer of Krispy Kreme, in a press release. “So, we’re going to keep this simple. Come by on May 7 and have a free Original Glazed doughnut on us, no REAL ID – or any ID – required.”

In Alabama, residents can apply for STAR IDs at ALEA Driver License examining offices.
