The Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission offers online licensing for new applications and renewals. Contestant and Non-Contestant licenses expire December 31. Promoter licenses expire one year from the date of issuance.
Step 1: Review licensing requirements. Please review all requirements for your specific KBWC license and gather any required documents. Signed physicals and other medical evaluations may be required for contestant applications.
First time wrestler applicants, wrestler applicants over 45, and all boxing/MMA contestants require a physical signed by an MD or DO. Physical forms can be found here. All applicants must submit a copy of their government-issued form of identification.
Step 2 – Complete licensing forms. First-time applicants should submit a new license application online. Returning licensees should visit our eServices portal to renew your license or apply for additional licenses with KBWC. Renewals are welcome year round for expired licenses. Renewals for active licenses are accepted beginning November 1 of each year. Be sure to attach all required documents as needed. You can also start filling out your application, save it in the system, and complete at a later date with the reference number provided.
If you prefer to mail in a paper application, you can find all the required forms here Applicants can mail in paper applications to KBWC, 500 Mero Street, 218NC, Frankfort, KY 40601.
