Taylor Co. transitioning driver licensing to KYTC in December By Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Six more Kentucky counties, including Taylor, will make the transition in December to a new, secure driver-licensing model, administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), that gives Kentuckians more choices and modern services. The traditional issuance system of licenses and permits initiated at the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in each county is being phased out. It is being replaced by a network of KYTC Driver Licensing Regional Offices located across the state. Twenty regional offices have been opened statewide to date, with more to come. KYTC and Kentucky's circuit court clerks are working together to smoothly complete the transition statewide by June 30, 2022. "It's a new era of driver licensing in Kentucky," Gov. Andy Beshear said. "We are using technology to offer more service options than ever before, such as online appointment scheduling, online license renewal and mail-in renewal. After many years of issuing driver licenses, circuit court clerks will be able to focus solely on court business, and driver licensing will be executed at new regional offices whose only business is licensing." Making the transition in December will be Grayson, LaRue, Knox, Pendleton, Taylor and Wayne counties. They bring to 80 the number of counties that will have done so by the end of December. The Office of Circuit Court Clerk in each of the six counties will refer residents to driver licensing services effective Dec. 27, 2021. Residents of counties making the transition may renew or apply for a REAL ID or new standard card version of driver license, learner permit, commercial driver license (CDL) or ID card at any KYTC Driver Licensing Regional Office, including the one at 363 Office Park Drive in Columbia. Applicants are encouraged to make an appointment online, which can be done at drive.ky.gov | Regional Offices Map. Walk-in customers are welcomed on a first-come, first-served basis until available slots are filled. To date, more than 50,000 Kentuckians have skipped a trip to a regional office by renewing their current license online, and more than 2,400 have been served through the mail. To learn more about how to renew your license, click here. KYTC regional offices - the only place where Kentuckians can get a REAL ID - are currently operating in Bowling Green, Burlington, Catlettsburg, Columbia, Elizabethtown, Frankfort, Jackson, Lexington, Louisville/Bowman Field (appointment only), Louisville/Dixie Highway (appointment only), Louisville/Hurstbourne, Louisville/Nia Center, Madisonville, Manchester, Morehead, Owensboro, Paducah, Prestonsburg, Richmond and Somerset, with more offices planned. Driver Testing Kentucky State Police will continue to administer all permit and license testing. Testing services are offered Monday through Friday by appointment. Applicants who require testing by KSP for a permit, driver license or CDL may make an appointment online by visiting http://kentuckystatepolice.org/driver-testing. Next Level Licensing The transition to a new model for license issuance is more than a change of office locations. "Our regional offices also offer a more secure issuance process and upgraded card security features to curb fraud," KYTC Secretary Jim Gray said. Driver Licensing Regional Offices will offer the following:
A full list of counties that have transferred services to regional offices is available at drive.ky.gov | Circuit Clerks. REAL ID Kentucky will continue offering the option of a standard driver's license, but a REAL ID or other form of federally approved identification, such as a passport or Department of Defense-issued military ID, eventually will be needed by people 18 and older for boarding commercial flights and accessing military bases and federal buildings that currently require identification. Enforcement is scheduled to begin May 3, 2023. First-time application for a REAL ID must be made in person at a Driver Licensing Regional office. Specific documentation is required. A list of acceptable documentation and a link to take an interactive quiz that populates a personalized list of documents is available at drive.ky.gov | IDocument Guide.
