Experience the next level of licensing at Kentucky's Driver Licensing Regional Offices

These modern new offices, located strategically throughout the state, are dedicated exclusively to licensing.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is streamlining the entire licensing process- whether you're applying for or renewing an operator's license, commercial license, motorcycle license, combination license, learner's permit or ID card.

Next Level Licensing

All licensing services will gradually move from the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in every county to Driver Licensing Regional Offices by June 30, 2022. Kentucky State Police will still oversee all written and road testing.

This is more than a change in locations.

It's a new era in licensing with modern and convenient options that put you in the driver's seat!

A list of regional offices is below and more locations will be added soon. Any Kentucky resident is welcome to schedule an appointment at an open Driver Licensing Regional Office.
