8 Kentucky counties to switch services to different offices

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Driver licensing services in eight Kentucky counties will soon take place at regional offices of the state Transportation Cabinet instead of at the Office of Circuit Court Clerk. The switch comes as Caldwell, Casey, Green, Hardin, Menifee, Metcalfe, McCreary and Webster counties switch to newer, more secure systems this month. The transportation cabinet says the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in those counties will stop providing most in-person driver licensing services on May 24, though it will continue processing remote applications for licenses and IDs until June 30. Twelve other counties have already made the switch and the statewide transition is expected to be completed June 2022.
