The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has launched an online service to allow for the renewal of driver’s and motorcycle licenses.
According to a news release, the online renewal option is for holders of standard-issue or REAL ID licenses whose credentials will expire within six months – or have been expired for less than a year- and want to maintain the same card version as their current license. The applicant’s name and address must be the same as what is listed on their current credential.
All counties are required to have made the transition by June 30, 2022, and 20 already have done so.
Applications for a replacement license or a license that reflects a change of name or address must be made in person. That can be done at any Driver Licensing Regional Office, or Office of Circuit Court Clerk in the customer’s county of residence. Initial application for a REAL ID must be made in person and can only be done at a KYTC Driver Licensing Regional Office due to document verification requirements.
