New 'standard' Kentucky driver's license

New 'standard' Kentucky driver's license 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has launched a service that lets Kentucky residents renew their driver's license online. 

The option is available or those with standard licenses or REAL IDs who want to get the same type of card they already had. The online renewal option is for holders of standard-issue or REAL ID licenses whose credentials will expire within six months or have been expired for less than a year.

"Unlike a temporary fix to survive a pandemic, this is a lasting permanent fix that I think is going to be better for all Kentuckians going forward," Sarah Jackson with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, said.

The online option is only available for license renewals. Replacements for lost or stolen licenses cannot be accepted online at this time.

The change is part of Kentucky's gradual transition to regional offices. All counties are required to have made the transition by June 30, 2022. So far, 20 already have done so.
