FRANKFORT, Ky., July 2, 2020 — The Administrative Office of the Courts announced today that circuit court clerks statewide may continue providing certain driver’s licenses services remotely, pursuant to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet official order 112228. The remote renewal process to request a credential has been extended through Sept. 30, 2020. In addition, official order 112223 ends the 90-day expiration date extension on July 7.
Driver’s license services were suspended March 18 when Gov. Andy Beshear closed in-person government services due to the pandemic and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray issued an official order giving citizens a 90-day extension to maintain the validity of licenses that expired during office closures. Driver’s license services resumed June 1 under the Judicial Branch’s safety requirements for reopening the courts.
