The enforcement date for REAL ID compliance has once again been pushed back. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Monday the deadline has been extended by two years to May 7th of 2025. The credential allows for air travel access and military base entry. Sarah Jackson is the REAL ID project manager in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. She said some Kentuckians may think they will never fly, but it’s important to plan for life’s events.
“You don’t always know that you may never fly. You know, what happens when your grandchild graduates from a military installation or a military academy and you suddenly have great pride and want to fly. You know you’re gonna need to fly to see him or her get that honor,” said Jackson.
