Driver Licensing Services To Resume at Jackson Regional Office Beginning Monday, Feb. 23

In person licensing services, written permit testing and driver testing will resume at the Jackson Driver Licensing Regional Office flagship location beginning Monday, Feb. 23. Issuance services were temporarily moved to the Breathitt County Public Library due to insufficient heating during the late January winter storm which brought prolonged cold temperatures. 

"We are grateful to the local library for hosting us so we could maintain critical licensing services in the area while ensuring the safety of our staff and the people we serve as we faced an extreme weather event,” said Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Deputy Secretary Jeremy Slinker. “We are pleased to restore services at full capacity.” 

All services will resume at the permanent office located at 1127 Main Street in Jackson, Ky.   

Kentucky’s 34 other regional office locations remained open. Kentuckians are reminded some licensing services can be completed by mail or online. To check eligibility and services, the status of local offices, or to schedule an appointment, visit drive.ky.gov.  

All driver testing must be scheduled through the Kentucky State Police’s website at kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov/driver-testing. Prior to arriving to take the test, Kentuckians should remember to:

• Bring all required documentation to your appointment so the permit test can be administered. Necessary documents include proof of identity, such as birth certificate (not a photocopy), proof of Social Security and a School Compliance Verification Form. 
• Study the Kentucky Driver Manual, which can be found here. Should an applicant not pass the written test, they can schedule another appointment using the online portal.
