DMVs have been overloaded with long lines, which Krispy Kreme understands can be a nuisance. '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 chief growth officer Dave Skena.

Luckily for customers, Krispy Kreme does not require anyone to bring in a REAL ID to obtain the free treat. Each customer is limited to one free donut, but this has not stopped social media users from being excited about the one-day-only deal.
