New driver's license branch opens on West Broadway near downtown Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A new driver's licensing office is now open on the 11th floor of the L&N Building on West Broadway near downtown Louisville.

The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. But, because of building construction, visitors will need to enter through the back of the building.

Real IDs and permits can be issued there along with vision testing. But driver's license testing is not available since it's just a temporary location as needs continue to grow in the region.

"We are excited for this location to add more staffing capacity to best serve the region, as needs have grown at our other four area locations with the start of REAL ID enforcement, vision screening requirements and permit issuance to 15-year-olds," Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray said in a news release Thursday.

Plans for a permanent location haven't been decided.
