New Online Portal

Meet myDrive

Kentucky’s New Home for Online Driver Services

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is upgrading systems and launching myDrive, a new portal for managing your driver license and ID services online.

June 8-18 Office walk-in services will be available from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at all Driver Licensing Regional office locations.

Account Verification

To access online services, you’ll need to create an account and link it to your Kentucky credential. Customers will need a unique Letter ID alphanumeric code from a KYTC document dated on or after June 6, 2026, issued within the last 60 days to connect your account to your credential.

Don’t have one? Request a Letter ID by mail when creating your myDrive account or visit a Driver Licensing Regional Office. Delivery typically takes 5–10 business days.
