ROWAN COUNTY, Kentucky (The Adobo Chronicles) – Beginning in 2016, a valid U.S. passport may be a required as the only acceptable identification document when traveling on domestic flights while the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may be given the power to request a non-issuance, or cancellation, of a passport for individuals owing taxes.

Encouraged by this new development, the state of Kentucky — yes the same state where a Rowan County clerk refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples — is proposing new regulations regarding the issuance of marriage licenses, gay or straight.

The new rules, reportedly the brainchild of county clerk Kim Davis and widely supported by state Republican lawmakers, will require marriage license applicants to show proof of U.S. citizenship through a valid U.S. passport.

So, if you’re planning to get married in Kentucky, it is wise to start securing your U.S. passport or passport card if you don’t already have one, or if you do, to make sure it is unexpired.

The Adobo Chronicles contacted all of the Republican candidates for president and all have expressed full support for the measure.  That means it may become the law not just in Kentucky, but in the entire U.S. of A!
