KY drivers encouraged to sign up for myDrive accounts From Naitore Djigbenou/Allen Blair Frankfort, KY - On September 9, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that more than 30,000 Kentuckians have completed creating a myDrive online account, unlocking convenient drivers licensing services that can save them time and trips to a driver licensing office. "We've made improving licensing a priority so that Kentuckians are spending less time waiting in line and more time getting where they need to go," said Gov. Beshear. "By completing their myDrive registration, Kentuckians can save themselves trips to the licensing office and we can continue to see those average wait times drop even further." Team Kentucky encourages all drivers to sign up or complete account verification to access eligible online services, like changing an address, replacing an ID or renewing a license. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) new, modernized driver licensing system, Kentucky Information Network for Driver Licensing, replaced the state's 40-year-old backend system in June and expanded online service options available to Kentuckians at myDrive.ky.gov.
