Morehead Regional Driver Licensing Office re-opens with limited service June 10 – WMKY

Gov. Andy Beshear today announced the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) regional driver licensing office in Morehead will reopen for limited services starting Wednesday, June 10.

It is part of Gov. Beshears Healthy at Work initiative to safely reopen essential Executive Branch offices and services that were closed to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

We are gradually and carefully reopening our commonwealth and resuming some high-demand, in-person public services, said Gov. Beshear. Those services include issuing, renewing and replacing operators licenses and official identification cards. Our fellow Kentuckians depend on those credentials for employment, travel and emergencies.

Services at the Morehead Regional Drivers License Office are limited at this time to residents who meet one of the following qualifying criteria:

Replacement of a lost license, permit or identification card;

License or ID card needed for employment;

New resident replacing a valid out-of-state credential;

New applicant who has successfully completed Kentucky State Police driver testing; and

Renewal of a credential that expired before March 18, 2020, when license and permit expiration dates were automatically extended for 90 days by emergency order

The same services are offered at the KYTC REAL-ID Regional Driver Licensing Office in Frankfort, 200 Mero Street.

We look forward to resuming in-person customer service in our Morehead office, KYTC Secretary Jim Gray said. But it is essential that we resume that service in a way that protects the health and safety of our customers and our employees. Were implementing new practices that encourage social distancing and our experience will guide the phased opening of other regional drivers license offices around the commonwealth.

The Regional Drivers License Office, 126 Bradley Ave., in Morehead will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT.

Qualifying applicants may make appointments online at realidky.com to request either a standard or REAL ID credential. A limited number of workstations will be available to serve walk-ins. To avoid gatherings in common waiting areas after checking in, applicants may be individually notified when to return to the issuance office to be served.

To maintain the safest possible environment, employees of the office will adhere to Gov. Beshears Healthy at Work standards, which include wearing a mask, and customers will be asked to do the same. Social distancing will be observed. Surfaces will be cleaned and touch pad equipment sanitized after each use.
