Just get it by email and skip real ID. The feds kicked the can to May 2025 anyhow.

It's not the realID thing. I'm not sure what triggered it, but I have to do the in-person thing. It might be I hit my limit on renewing online and need a new picture.

My fiance had the same thing. No updated info needed except his picture.

He procrastinates on things sometimes too (as do we all), but was able to get in to AAA in December. They were scheduling sooner than a month out though, so he got in 2 days before his birthday.

I'm not giving this as advice, because I generally avoid advising people to do illegal things.

If I was in this situation, I would book the earliest possible appointment (considering I hadn't already found a walk-in location), get everything done and submitted online that I can (to have the process started in the system), and then do my very best at driving until then.

I would personally be okay doing this knowing I have a clean record without a history of being pulled over and don't live or travel in an area where cops camp out for quotas.

It's really an odds game. I would play it, because my odds are good.

The rule is that every 10 years you have to do it in person. Simple as that.
