(b) Applies in person in the office of the circuit clerk in his or her county of
residence or through alternative technology; and
(c) Complies with the provisions of this section.
Upon application for a personal identification card under this section, the circuit
clerk shall capture a photograph of the applicant in accordance with KRS
186.4102(1).
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, the circuit clerk
shall electronically scan the documents required for application under this
section and shall electronically forward the application, supporting
documents, and the photograph of the applicant to the Transportation
Cabinet. The circuit clerk shall present the applicant with a temporary
personal identification card, which shall be valid for thirty (30) days until a
permanent personal identification card is mailed to the applicant by the
Transportation Cabinet.
(b) The circuit clerk shall only electronically scan the birth certificate of an
individual applying for a voluntary travel ID personal identification card. If
the applicant is not seeking such a document, the circuit clerk shall not
electronically scan the applicant's birth certificate.
(c) An applicant for a personal identification card shall not be required to
surrender the applicant's birth certificate for image capture, image
storage, or image transmission to any entity, including the federal
government, unless express consent is given by the applicant during the
course of obtaining a voluntary travel ID personal identification card.
(a) An application for a personal identification card shall be accompanied by
the same information as is required for an operator's license under KRS
186.412, except if an applicant does not have a fixed, permanent
address, the applicant may use as proof of residency a signed letter from
a homeless shelter, health care facility, or social service agency currently
providing the applicant treatment or services and attesting that the
applicant is a resident of Kentucky. An applicant who does not have a
fixed, permanent address shall not be issued a voluntary travel ID
personal identification card.
(b) It shall be permissible for the application form for a personal identification
card to include as an applicant's most current resident address a mailing

swear an oath to the circuit clerk as to the truthfulness of the statements
contained on the application form.

who was issued the card presents false or misleading information to the
cabinet when applying for the card.
A personal identification card issued under this section shall be valid for a
period of eight (8) years from the date of issuance, except that if the personal
identification card is issued to a person who does not have a fixed, permanent
address, then the personal identification card shall be valid for one (1) year
from the date of issuance.
(a) An applicant may be issued a personal identification card if the applicant
currently holds a valid Kentucky instruction permit or operator's license,
except that a person shall not hold more than one (1) license or personal
identification card that is a voluntary travel ID identity document which
indicates that it meets the requirements for federal identification under
Pub. L. No. 109-13, Title II, as referenced in KRS 186.4102(8).
(b) If a person's instruction permit or operator's license has been suspended
or revoked, the person may be issued a temporary personal identification
card. A temporary personal identification card shall be renewed annually
and may be surrendered when the person applies to have his or her
instruction permit or operator's license reinstated.
