CLARKSVILLE, Tenn – The City of Clarksville began offering Real ID services at both City Hall and the North Clarksville Service Center on Wednesday, October 5.
Until now, the only place in Clarksville to apply for Real ID is the Driver Services Center located at 220 West Dunbar Road. The addition of two new locations will help ease wait times for applicants and make it easier for residents to receive their new ID.
“Issuing Real IDs at City Hall and the North Clarksville Service Center will be a great help to our community,” said Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts. “I am grateful to our employees who took the challenge, completed the training, and are now seeing results.”

Other services offered at the Service Center include:
- Property tax inquiries and payments.
- Consultations, applications and collection of commercial licenses.
- Short-term rental applications and payment of fees.
- Parking ticket payments.
