Kentucky has been denied a request for a one-year extension to comply with federal regulations known as REAL ID by the Department of Homeland Security. Kentucky has made progress in meeting provisions and regulations, which were outlined in the extension request. The House voted unanimously in 2009 to halt the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet from pursuing REAL ID compliance, and public outcry during the 2016 General Assembly lead Governor Bevin to veto Senate Bill 245 until the implications of REAL ID could be investigated. Most Kentuckians won’t be immediately affected, with current non-compliant licenses and ID cards accepted to visit Social Security Administration offices, Veterans Affairs facilities, and federal courthouses. Beginning January 10, 2017, some federal facilities, such as military installations and nuclear power plants, will not accept Kentucky licenses and identification cards for entry. The TSA will accept non-compliant Kentucky driver’s licenses to board domestic flights until January 22, 2018, but after passengers may be required to use another form of identification.
