About KYTC Division of Driver Licensing

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is a very diverse state agency that directly touches the lives of citizens and travelers every day. KYTC services are at work in all 120 counties and 12 highway district offices from highways, roads, bridges, vehicle licensing, driver licensing, and highway safety. KYTC employees and contractors are committed to meet and/or exceed the needs and expectations of our business customers. KYTC works closely with officials at every level to deliver products and services to its citizens, businesses, and government agencies, continuously working towards improvement.

The Division of Driver Licensing (DDL) within KYTC is responsible for the issuance of driver’s licenses, maintaining driver’s records, and managing driver safety programs. Kentucky’s DDL works closely with other state agencies, other states, and federal government agencies. Recently, the Department of Homeland Security enacted federal rules for “Real ID” issuance and record keeping. KYTC must enact these rules to issue federally complaint driver licenses before October 2020.

To meet the increased demand, DDL has an immediate need for a group of exceptional individuals to join our organization as Driver License Support Specialists.
