Kentucky Local DMV Office FAQs

1. How do I renew my Kentucky driver’s license?

Kentucky offers both online and in-person renewal options. If you meet the eligibility criteria—such as holding a valid license with no changes to your personal details—you can conveniently renew online through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s website. Otherwise, you must visit a local driver’s licensing office with your current license, proof of identity, and residency documentation; a vision test may also be required.

2. What documents are required to register a vehicle in Kentucky?

To register your vehicle in Kentucky, you must provide proof of ownership (typically your vehicle title or out-of‑state registration), a completed registration application, and proof of valid Kentucky auto insurance. In addition, you will need to furnish documentation verifying your Kentucky residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. Depending on the vehicle’s history or specific circumstances, additional inspections or supporting documents may be required.

3. How do I transfer my out‑of‑state driver’s license to Kentucky?

New residents are required to transfer their out‑of‑state driver’s license within 30 days of establishing residency in Kentucky. Visit your local driver’s licensing office with your current license, proof of identity (such as a passport or birth certificate), Social Security documentation, and two documents verifying your Kentucky residency. A vision test is generally required, and if your out‑of‑state license has expired, you may need to complete a written exam as part of the process.
