Kentucky is opening Driver Licensing Regional Offices across the state to make new REAL
ID-compliant driving and identity credentials (as well as standard credentials) available to Kentuckians who prefer to use them for air travel and federal access benefits once enforcement begins May 3, 2023. Other federally approved documents, like a valid passport or passport card, are accepted for U.S. air travel.

acceptable documents.
- Driver Licensing Regional Offices are open to in-person visits from any Kentucky resident. Appointments are
highly suggested, as limited space for walk-ins differs from site to site.
