Popup Driver Licensing Program

​​​​​The Kentucky State Police (KSP) manage the driver testing popup program. To schedule an appointment, please visit their Driver Testing Website​.

* Please note that the KYTC Popup Program does NOT offer written or road testing services.​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is taking driver licensing to the next level by offering modern, secure services and more options to handle your licensing needs than ever before. The Popup Driver Licensing Program is a​ traveling service that brings all the services offered in Driver Licensing Regional Offices to local communities that don't have a regional office.  
  • Experience all the benefits of a Driver Licensing Regional Office at a Popup Event, like:  

    • ​Upgrade to a REAL ID license

    • Complete a renewal vision screening at no cost  

    • Request an 8-year license if you are due to renew 

    • Update your name or address  

    • Renew your CDL   ​

  • Popup events are reserved for residents of the county where the event is hosted. Counties without a KYTC Driver Licensing Regional Office are guaranteed at least two popup visits each year.


  • Popup events operate from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, with a scheduled lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.


  • ​Registration opens two weeks before the event date. Once registration is available, you can schedule an appointment directly on this page.


  • Appointments are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and must be made online. Appointment holders will be sent a confirmation email and text message immediately. Additionally, appointment holders will receive a reminder email/text message four days before the event. If an appointment holder cannot attend, please cancel the appointment. This will make the appointment available to others.  


  • Popup staff will email or phone all appointment holders before each event. It is essential that appointment holders respond to staff when they receive calls or emails. Staff will confirm appointments, answer any questions, and ensure each customer has the proper documents to receive service at a Popup event. 


  • ​While Popup events are by appointment only, staff may be able to take a limited number of walk-ins at each event; however, there is no guarantee. Residents who wish to walk in at a Popup event should plan to arrive no earlier than 9 a.m. Upon arrival, staff will let you know if walk-in service is available and provide an estimated wait time.


  • The following forms of payment will be accepted: debit/credit card, check, and money order. The program is not accepting cash payments. A pricing list is available here. ​


  • Skip a trip to a regional office or popup event and renew online or by mail! Most KY credential needs can be completed from the comfort of your own home. To learn more, click here. ​


  • ​For any questions regarding popup events, please email Toni Benedict​ at toni.benedict@ky.gov.


 Effective January 1, 2025, a vision screening will be required to renew a Kentucky driver’s license.​
