DHS extends KY REAL-ID deadline to Aug 2019 The KY Transportation Cabinet announced last week that REAL ID compliant licenses will be available beginning in 2019: New KY licenses to have option for REAL ID compliance By Jordan Smith/Naitore Djigbenou Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) today announced that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) granted the Commonwealth a REAL ID extension to allow Kentuckians to use their current state driver's license to board domestic flights and visit military bases. A Kentucky driver's license, permit or identification card in the current and upcoming standard version will continue to be accepted by federal agencies through Aug. 1, 2019. Kentucky expects to maintain further extensions until REAL ID enforcement begins Oct. 1, 2020. Standard driver's licenses and permits will remain acceptable to drive, vote, access federal and social benefit services (such as VA hospitals, Social Security offices, and federal courthouses) and for general identification purposes (such as signing a lease or purchasing age-restricted goods). A Voluntary Travel ID credential offers the benefits of a standard credential and is compliant with the requirement of the REAL ID Act, meaning that the credential will be accepted to board U.S. flights and access restricted federal facilities.
