You may smile in your photo.
Take the photo using your phone, turn off the live mode option.
Please note what is NOT accepted. Examples of unacceptable photos are ones that include your spouse, friends, family or pets, car-selfies, or photos that are too dark/bright/blurry that make features indistinguishable. A $25.00 reprint fee will be applied for a license that is printed with an inadequate photo.
Kentucky has implemented a photo requirement for the past two (2) years, posting of licensure will be strictly enforced; failure to meet photo requirements may delay or prevent your license from being printed. It is important to regularly check your emails for deficiency notices to ensure compliance and timely processing of your license.
A renewal submitted that does not meet the printing requirements will be sent a deficiency notice by email, you will have 10 days to make corrections before the application is closed.
Upon completing your license renewal, verify the expiration date 7/31/2025 is listed on your license(s). Your renewal receipt will be sufficient as proof of licensing until processing review is completed and approved.
