Applicants will receive a temporary document that will serve as their ID until the permanent card arrives in the mail 10-15 business days later. How you get your card: All cards - standard or REAL ID - will not be issued over the counter the same day you visit an office. If you want to apply for a REAL ID driving credential for the first time, you will need to present specific documentation when applying.
How you apply for/renew/replace your card: The process remains the same if you seek a standard credential.
They will instead visit any Driver Licensing Regional Office found in select counties across the state. Where you go: Between now and June 30, 2022, Kentuckians will no longer visit the Office of the Circuit Court Clerk in their county of residence to request, renew or replace a driving or identity credential. This change improves security in the card issuance process. You'll get a temporary document at the end of your transaction and the permanent card will be sent to you in the mail.
