In Alabama, you don't need anything but a blank check or free access to a debit/credit card. If you don't have a REAL ID (Alabama calls it a STAR ID), the DMV will ask you if you want to upgrade to that. All you need is a birth certificate or current passport and a couple of various pieces of mail that has your current address on it.

I just renewed mine yesterday. I checked in at 1228 for a 1300 appointment and was leaving with my renewed license at 1245. I dropped my haz-mat the last time I renewed 4 years ago.

Dang, you're lucky. I just renewed my license and it took 3 hours from start to finish.

I was really dreading it. I HATE going to the DMV. You can set up an appointment at most of them in Alabama but the one I usually go to didn't have any appointments available for the day I was already scheduled to be off work so I went to another DMV, one I had never been to. That made the dread even worse. As it turns out, it wasn't a bad experience at all. And yes, I'll certainly consider myself lucky this time.

Just go to the place in Elk Grove Village. Stand in line, then stand in line again. Pay your money and no tests.
