Licensing begins transition to Transportation Cabinet By Naitore Djigbenou/Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Secretary Jim Gray announced nearly all driver licensing services for residents of Franklin and Woodford counties will be transferred from the circuit court clerks in the Judicial Branch to the KYTC as of Monday, March 22. It is the next step in a phased, county-by-county transition of the process by which Kentuckians obtain operator licenses, learner permits and state identification cards. Services historically performed by the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in every Kentucky county will shift to a network of KYTC driver licensing regional offices across the Commonwealth. To date, KYTC has driver licensing regional offices around the state. They are located in Paducah, Madisonville, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Louisville/Hurstbourne, Elizabethtown, Frankfort, Lexington, Burlington, Richmond, Columbia, Somerset, Jackson, Morehead and Prestonsburg. There also are smaller, temporary field offices at Louisville/Bowman Field and Catlettsburg. Kentucky State Police will continue to oversee all permit and license testing. Franklin County and Woodford County residents may make an appointment online for written or road testing by visiting kentuckystatepolice.org/driver-testing. KSP will honor all existing scheduled appointments at the dates, times, and locations offered when scheduled initially. "Over the years our circuit court clerks have done great work to get Kentuckians properly licensed," Gov. Andy Beshear said. "The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is ushering in a new model to obtain a Kentucky driving or state identification card through a network of offices exclusively dedicated to licensing services." Franklin and Woodford county residents may renew or apply for a REAL ID or new standard card version of driver licenses, permits, commercial driver licenses (CDLs) and ID cards at any Transportation Cabinet Driver Licensing Regional Office. The Office of Circuit Court Clerk in these two counties will no longer serve as in-person application sites for driving credentials. Applicants are encouraged to make an appointment online at drive.ky.gov. Walk-in customers are also welcome. One exception temporarily remains: Until June 30, 2021, circuit clerks in every county but Fayette will continue to process remotely submitted applications for renewal or replacement of standard-issue credentials, provided the card expires by that date and the applicant has not had a change of address or change of name and does not require testing performed by the Kentucky State Police. Remote renewal was a temporary, emergency measure directed by Gov. Beshear to safeguard public health by limiting person-to-person contact during the COVID-19 pandemic. Next Level Licensing Through a phased transition ending June 30, 2022, all Kentuckians will eventually visit Driver Licensing Regional Offices in targeted zones across the state to apply for or renew an operator license, permit or ID card instead of visiting the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in their county of residence. The gradual shift is more than a change in locations. It represents a new licensing model that provides Kentuckians with modern services that offer more choices in how they want to be served. "It's a new era for licensing as more and more counties will be making the same transition in the months ahead," KYTC Secretary Jim Gray said. "When the transition is completed, license issuance will be entirely within the Transportation Cabinet. With a single agency at the helm of processing credential requests, we'll be able to offer consistent, innovative advancements that take licensing to the next level in Kentucky." Transportation Cabinet management of all licensing will offer the following advancements:
While Kentucky will continue offering the option of a standard driver's license, a REAL ID or other form of federally approved identification, such as a passport or military ID, will be needed as of Oct. 1, 2021, for passing through airport security checkpoints to board a U.S. commercial flight, visiting a military base or accessing a federal building or facility that requires identification. More information is available at realidky.com. Obtaining a REAL ID for the first time requires applicants to apply in-person at a Driver Licensing Regional office and present specific, required documentation. A list of acceptable documentation and a link to take an interactive quiz that populates a personalized list of documents is available here. To maintain the safest possible environment, employees and customers of the Driver Licensing Regional Offices are required to adhere to Gov. Beshear's Healthy at Work standards, which include wearing a mask and observing social distancing. Surfaces are cleaned and touch pad equipment sanitized after each use This story was posted on 2021-03-15 11:44:51
