LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A new regional driver licensing office is opening in Kentucky and will be the only in-person driver licensing site in Fayette County.
The office is intended to further expand access to Real ID-compliant licenses and identification cards, which will be required in October 2021 for flying and some other activities.
The office is operated by the state Transportation Cabinet. Other regional driver licensing offices operate with local circuit court clerk offices, but all Fayette County residents who need standard licenses, permits and ID cards or renewals will apply at the new regional office, the cabinet said. Circuit clerk driver license offices have closed in Lexington.
Services will be limited in the beginning to acquiring some new or replacement licenses and IDs and certain renewals.
