Over 150k Kentuckians renew driver's licenses online

The launch of online license renewal in Kentucky has proven to be popular, with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reporting that more than 150,000 Kentuckians have skipped a trip to a licensing office.

Kentuckians also have the option of renewing by mail, and more than 10,000 people have done so to date. 

Online and mail renewal were not available under Kentucky's previous system of having credentials issued by offices of circuit court clerks.

Aside from renewing a credential, Kentuckians can also replace a lost card or update an address through the mail-in option. You can learn more about how to renew your license by clicking here.

Last month, the transportation cabinet's online renewal system, developed by the Kentucky Office of Information Technology, won a Kentucky Digital Government Summit award in the Best Application Serving the Public category.

The Office of Circuit Court Clerk in 106 of Kentucky's 120 counties have transferred services to regional offices.
