Kentucky licenses now accepted at Fort Knox through June 6
Kentucky was issued a reprieve Thursday regarding enforcement of Real ID regulations, which threatened to complicate entry at Fort Knox.
The post announced last week that as of Jan. 30, Kentucky driver’s licenses no longer would be considered acceptable proof of identity when seeking access to the installation. The Public Affairs Office confirmed late Thursday afternoon an extension was granted after news of the change from state Rep. Jim DuPlessis was relayed by a reporter.
“The installation’s priority is on ensuring everyone knows what is required in order to properly request entry onto the Fort Knox military reservation. As such, we will use all of our communications channels to help promote awareness of Kentucky having received an extension for Real ID enforcement and what that means for those wishing to visit the installation,” said Ryan Brus, Fort Knox public affairs officer.
DuPlessis, R-Elizabethtown, is co-sponsor on House Bill 77, which would make multiple changes to laws related to Kentucky licenses, including compliance with Real ID.
