Governor Andy Beshear says he's working to improve efficiency at Kentucky's driver licensing regional offices.

His comments last week were ahead of the federal government's real ID enforcement date starting Wednesday.

Your standard Kentucky driver's license will no longer be accepted for domestic flights or to access certain federal buildings.

Kentucky has 34 regional driver licensing offices.

Only one of them has appointments available before Wednesday.

And some of them don't have any openings for more than a month.

Others list no future openings at all.

Here's Governor Beshear discussing some upcoming changes.

I'm not satisfied with how our offices are currently working.

We're bringing on more full time employees and relying on less temporary employees.

I'm looking at making a couple hr.

Changes in work weeks and others that can hopefully, recruit even more people.

But folks out there that are facing some of these deadlines, again, a couple of things that can help you.

You know, first, if you have a passport, I would wait again, a valid passport you should check.

I consider waiting until after May the 7th when there will be less of a crunch.

Kentucky has been issuing real IDs since 2020.

Since then, more than 1 million Kentuckians have received one.

There are ways you can skip the line and decrease your weight.
