\nIn about a year, your Kentucky ID may not be good enough to get you through airport security.<\/p>\n
This is because Kentucky’s driver’s licenses don’t comply with the Real ID Act that was passed by the Federal Government nearly a decade ago.<\/p>\n
It hasn’t been, and still isn’t a problem for most people now, but if the state doesn’t update it’s procedures, officials say Kentuckians could face restrictions that other American citizens won’t.<\/p>\n
Louisville Regional Airport Authority, Skip Miller, said the problem is Kentucky has 120 counties that issues a driver’s license, not the state and the federal government doesn’t like that process.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Governor Matt Bevin vetoed a bill that would have made Kentucky IDs comply with the Real ID Act.<\/p>\n
It is possible the Federal Government could extend the deadline for Kentucky to make changes, but so far, they say they are not planning on it.<\/p>\n
If things stay the same, Kentuckians may need a passport to travel by plane, gain access to federal buildings, or enter military bases.
