• 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.
