Enforcement date for Real ID law less than a month away
The Real ID enforcement date is now less than a month away.
Beginning May 7, all Kentuckians 18 and older will need a Real IDÂ or another acceptable form of identification to travel domestically and access certain federal facilities such as military bases.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says in order to apply for a Real ID, residents must visit a Driver Licensing Regional Office and present one proof of identity document, one proof of Social Security document, and two proofs of residency. The KYTC website has a checklist of documents that qualify for each requirement. Real ID licenses are available for four-year or eight-year credentials.
After the enforcement date, standard licenses will still be valid for driving, as proof of identity, age, and residence for voting, and for age-restricted purchases. The standard license will also allow access to federal facilities such as VA hospitals.
Officials are reminding Kentuckians that May 7 is an enforcement date rather than a deadline. You will still be able to apply for a Real ID after May 7. Visit drive.ky.gov and click on the Real ID tab for more information.
