Limited reopening of Somerset Regional Driver Licensing Office By Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday announced the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Regional Driver Licensing Office in Somerset will reopen for limited services starting Wednesday, July 15. It is part of Gov. Beshear's 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 resuming some essential, in-person public services while taking care to do so in a way that protects public health," said Gov. Beshear. "Essential services include issuing, renewing and replacing operator's licenses and official identification cards for our fellow Kentuckians who depend on them for employment, travel and emergencies." Even after the office reopens, the Governor encouraged anyone who can renew or replace credentials remotely to do so. Those whose licenses, permits or ID cards were lost or expired - or will expire - any time from March 1 through Sept. 30, 2020 and who do not require testing may apply for renewal or replacement remotely through the circuit court clerk in their county of residence. Check with the clerk as to preferred method, such as drop-off form or mail-in form. The forms can be downloaded here: https://kycourts.gov/Pages/DLreopeningplan.aspx. Gov. Beshear also reminded Kentuckians that licenses and permits that expired March 18 through July 6, 2020 were automatically extended 90 days beyond the printed expiration date. In-person services at the KYTC Regional Driver Licensing Office in Somerset are limited at this time to the following:
"We look forward to resuming in-person customer service in our Somerset 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. We're implementing new practices that encourage social distancing and we look forward to resuming operations at other regional offices around the commonwealth as conditions permit." The Regional Driver Licensing Office in Somerset is at 650 North Main Street, Suite 240. It will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT. Qualifying applicants may make appointments online at drive.ky.gov. 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 asked to wait in their vehicles and will be individually notified when to return to the issuance office to be served. To maintain the safest possible environment, employees of the KYTC Somerset regional office will adhere to Gov. Beshear's Healthy at Work standards, which include wearing a mask, and customers will be required to do the same. Social distancing will be observed. Surfaces will be cleaned and touch pad equipment sanitized after each use. This story was posted on 2020-07-15 05:03:56
