FRANKFORT, Ky. (WMDJ) — Kentucky’s regional driver licensing offices will temporarily close next week as the state transitions to a new licensing system.

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, all regional offices will be closed Thursday, June 4, and Friday, June 5, while the new system is installed.

The upgrade will replace Kentucky’s current licensing platform, which has been in use for nearly 40 years. The new system will include an online portal called myDrive.

The portal will allow residents to pre-apply for a driver’s license, permit or ID card, request replacement cards, check the status of their license and access other licensing services online.

State officials are encouraging anyone with upcoming licensing needs to visit an office before the temporary closure if possible.

All regional driver licensing offices are scheduled to reopen Monday, June 8.
