Fillable Form Kentucky ID Application (TC 94-30)

What is a Kentucky ID Application?

Form TC 94-30, known primarily as a Kentucky ID Application, is a form used to apply either for a new Kentucky Driver’s License or real ID card document in the state of Kentucky, in the DMV's regional office.

A Kentucky ID application may also serve as a process through which individuals can obtain an official KY identification card issued by the state of Kentucky. This ID card serves as an official form of identification for residents who may not have or require a driver's license. The purpose of a Kentucky ID card is to provide individuals with a widely accepted means of proving their identity in various situations, such as opening a bank account, accessing certain services, or verifying age. While a birth certificate is usable for this purpose, having proper real IDs helps in ensuring that one does not have to bring their birth certificate whenever they need to apply to a new job, or to go on domestic flights.

Having readily available standard licenses helps to save time, and helps streamline many different processes in many different contexts, from regular day-to-day life to processes in military bases.

A Kentucky Driver's License is needed in order to be able to drive in the state. However, an ID card can be useful for non-drivers or in situations where a standard driver's license is not required. It is important to note that the Kentucky ID Application form does not apply for those under 18 years of age unless their parents or legal guardian signs the form in the presence of a DMV official.
