Warren Co. to roll out REAL ID licenses By Naitore Djigbenou Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is expanding REAL ID-compliant card access to Warren County residents at the state's first regional driver's license office outside of Frankfort to give Kentuckians more options to maintain air travel and select federal building access. The office will initially serve Warren County residents, but in the coming months will serve Kentuckians in the region once the location expands its capacity. Warren County residents who have a current driver's license, permit or identification card may apply for a Voluntary Travel ID (Kentucky's REAL ID-compliant cards) if they want to use a state-issued credential to meet upcoming REAL ID requirements that go into effect Oct. 1, 2020. "After years of repeated changes and uncertainty surrounding REAL ID in Kentucky, my administration is evaluating the options and working tirelessly to bring our state into compliance with the federal requirements," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "The deadline to comply is quickly approaching and we must continue to improve this service while encouraging Kentuckians to take action to ensure they have an accepted form of identification by October." What is a REAL ID Starting Oct. 1, 2020, Kentucky driver's licenses, permits and identification cards displaying the Kentucky Unbridled Spirit logo or the language "NOT FOR REAL ID PURPOSES" will no longer be accepted to board U.S. commercial flights or access restricted federal buildings to comply with federal REAL ID law. Voluntary Travel IDs are REAL ID-compliant driving and identity credentials accepted at airport security checkpoints, military bases and federal buildings that require ID once federal enforcement begins. Voluntary Travel ID card versions serve as one of several forms of REAL ID. Below is a list of common forms of REAL ID Kentuckians may use to maintain air travel and select federal building access:
Why you may need a REAL ID Beginning nationwide on Oct. 1, 2020, a form of REAL ID will be needed to:
Warren County residents may visit the KYTC-operated Driver licensing regional field office located next to Starbucks at 360 East Eighth Avenue in Bowling Green. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Applicants will receive a temporary 30-day document that serves as a driving credential until the permanent card arrives in the mail at the applicant's residence. The office will initially offer two stations to process Voluntary Travel ID requests and will expand in the future to meet the needs of more Kentuckians. Only debit and credit cards will be accepted (no cash or check). Regional offices are not equipped to serve applicants who require testing or re-testing. What you will need to apply for a REAL ID Residents applying for a Voluntary Travel ID card version must present documentation that meets specific guidelines, including:
When to visit the Warren County Circuit Court Clerk Office The Warren County Circuit Court Clerk office will continue to serve as the application site for standard, non-REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses, permits, and identification cards. Kentuckians who have never had a Kentucky driving credential or those who require any form of testing or retesting must first visit the Circuit Court Clerk Office before visiting a regional licensing office if they would like a Voluntary Travel ID. "To avoid a rush, it's important for residents to know they may already have a valid form of REAL ID, like a passport or Global Entry Card, they can use instead of a Voluntary Travel ID starting this October to visit military bases and fly within the U.S.," said Warren County Circuit Court Clerk Brandi Duvall. "Current driver's licenses will continue to remain valid for driving, voting and general identification purposes." About the Confident Kentucky Initiative Confident Kentucky is an initiative of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) to improve the security of the issuance and production of state-issued driver's licenses, permits and IDs to meet federal REAL ID standards. When REAL ID enforcement goes into effect Oct. 1, 2020, Kentucky driving and ID credentials without a star cutout in a black circle in the upper-right corner cannot be used at airport security checkpoints for U.S. commercial air travel or to visit military bases and federal facilities that require ID (like the White House). Kentuckians 18 years of age or older will need a Voluntary Travel ID (Kentucky's version of REAL ID-compliant licenses, permits, and identification cards) or another acceptable form of REAL ID (like a passport, passport card, permanent resident card) to fly within the U.S. or access restricted federal locations. Passports are still required for international travel. Voluntary Travel IDs are optional and will continue to be offered after Oct. 1, 2020. Circuit Court Clerk offices will serve as the application site for standard, non-compliant cards and KYTC regional office locations will accept requests for Voluntary Travel IDs*. All Voluntary Travel IDs will arrive in the mail, are available in eight-year lifespans, feature new pricing and require documentation when applying. To learn more and to prepare, visit drive.ky.gov/confidentky. *Franklin County and Woodford County Circuit Court Clerk office locations participated in the pilot program and continue to offer Voluntary Travel IDs and new standard driver's licenses to residents This story was posted on 2020-01-14 11:34:15
