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.

Address Change

If you have moved, you must update the address on your Kentucky credential within 10 days. Before updating your address with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, update your mailing address with the United States Postal Service first to help ensure your new card is mailed to the correct address.

Name Change

If your legal name has changed, you must update the name on your Kentucky credential to match your current legal documents. Name changes must be completed in person at a Driver Licensing Regional Office and require supporting legal documentation.
