Team Kentucky is reminding Kentuckians to plan ahead, as all Driver Licensing Regional Offices will be closed on Thursday, June 4, and Friday, June 5 as the commonwealth launches a new and improved driver licensing system that will enhance the customer experience and expand online options.
Offices will reopen Monday, June 8. Customers with licenses or IDs expiring in June are encouraged to visit an office early.
The new driver licensing system replaces Kentucky’s nearly 40-year-old platform and is part of continued efforts to modernize state services and improve the customer experience. The upgraded system will launch alongside myDrive, a new online driver services portal that allows Kentuckians to pre-apply for a license, permit or ID, request a card replacement, check their current license standing, and more.
Kentuckians are encouraged to register for a myDrive account at mydrive.ky.gov once the portal becomes available on June 8. Even if Kentuckians do not have any immediate licensing needs, creating an account early can save time later, as account verification may require some users to request a secure verification code that will arrive by mail. Kentuckians who schedule a road or written test with the Kentucky State Police are encouraged to pre-apply for a license or permit on myDrive to save time on the day of their appointment and to arrive prepared.
The following temporary licensing services will take effect to aid with system migration:
All Driver Licensing Regional Offices will close Thursday, June 4 – Friday, June 5.
Offices will reopen on Monday, June 8. Walk-in hours will be 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. through June 18.
Saturday office hours will be available May 30 from 8 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Monthly Saturday hours will resume in July.
The MyCDL portal to upload medical certificates will be discontinued starting June 3 at 5 p.m. Eastern.
Online driver’s license renewal will be unavailable beginning Wednesday, June 3. Services will be restored on Monday, June 8 and still require a completed vision screening form.
information about office hours, services and myDrive is available at drive.ky.gov.
