Circuit Court Clerk issues statement on new driver's license renewal / replacement guidelines


An open letter from Henderson Circuit Court Clerk Herb McKee Junior concerning replacement or renewal of credentials:

NOTE: No information has been provided by the Kentucky State Police regarding permit tests or road tests yet.  
We expect more information by the end of next week.  Here is the KSP website for permit locations to date: 
https://kentuckystatepolice.org/drivers-testing/

As of 5/29/2020, the KY Transportation Cabinet & KY Supreme Court have implemented the following policy to reduce 
the amount of in-person traffic while also providing convenient service for obtaining replacement/renewal of credentials.
  
- Beginning June 1st, individuals with a driver’s license, permit or ID card that expired or was lost between March 1-June 30, 
2020, who wish to obtain a renewal or reissuance MUST apply through a remote application process.  The application is provided 
here: https://kycourts.gov/Documents/covid19/TC94191.pdf.  Applications will also be available inside the Judicial Center at 
the security desk in the judicial center, along with envelopes to include payment to: Henderson Circuit Clerk.  
Credentials will be mailed to the individual within 7 days of the application being processed.  Individuals may mail the 
application and payment to P.O. Box 675, or drop off at the security desk inside the Judicial Center 8:00 - 4:30, or place 
in the drop box on the exterior of the building after hours.  Payment may be by check or money order payable to 
“Henderson Circuit Clerk” or indicate on the form you wish to use a credit card, in which case you’ll need to leave a 
daytime telephone number for us to call to complete the transaction.  If you’d like to use a credit/debit card, we encourage 
you to email your form to the following address with your daytime/ cell phone number: HendersonCountyDL@KyCourts.net.

- Beginning June 8th, Individuals with a driver’s license, permit or ID card that expired or was lost BEFORE March 1, 2020, 
if your address or name have changed, or any CDL (commercial driver’s license), must obtain new credentials through an 
in-person visit to the Circuit Clerk’s Office.  To comply with health guidelines, the KY Supreme Court is requiring 
in-person renewals to be by appointment.  Please call 1(270)826-2405 ext. 2 to set up an appointment.  Please remember 
social distance guidelines are in place.  All persons must remain at least 6 ft apart and wear a mask until it is time 
for the their picture to be taken.

Please remember, the Office of the Circuit Clerk is still ordered to be staffed at 50% by the KY Supreme Court, and we 
will be working through a large backlog of expired/lost credentials.  We will be answering a lot phone calls, so if your 
call isn’t answered please leave a phone message and we will return your calls as soon possible.
