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 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 May 3, 2023.

To meet the increased demand, DDL has an immediate need for a group of exceptional individuals to join our organization as Driver License Credentialing Specialists. The rollout of a new digitized license computer system across the state will require limited travel to issuance locations to all sections of the state. In this position, there may be opportunities for advancement within the Division of Driver Licensing. The DL Credentialing Specialists may be assigned a mobile unit and be required to travel to varying locations throughout the state issuing licenses. These locations will include manufacturing centers, libraries, prisons and other local areas in need of Driver’s License services. Overnight stay may be needed based on the needs of the agency. The candidate will not be expected to utilize their own vehicle. Other duties as assigned.
