• Abstract:
  The REAL ID Act specifies the minimum standards that must be used to produce and issue driver’s license and ; identification cards that are REAL ID compliant. Beginning in 2020, if a person does not possess a form of ; identification that meets REAL ID standards they will not be able to board an aircraft that is regulated by the Federal ; Aviation Administration. Currently, of the 56 states and jurisdictions required to implement the REAL ID Act, only 23 ; are in compliance. Although the Commonwealth of Kentucky has not yet implemented the REAL ID Act, an extension ; allowing Federal agencies to accept state driver’s licenses is currently in effect. This report summarizes the eight REAL ; ID requirements, discusses the results of a survey that asked compliant states about their implementation experiences, ; identifies different strategies for implementation, and proposes recommendations. This should begin with development ; of a state security plan and execution of a public information campaign about REAL ID. It is recommended that ; Kentucky require Division of Driver Licensing (DLL) field offices to handle REAL ID applications, offer an online ; renewal system, and create a centralized distribution of driver’s licenses and identification cards. Several KY Statutes ; will have to be amended to allow for changes in license renewal cycles, third party vendor distribution, and the resulting ; changes in license fees.
