Driver's licenses being issued again after nationwide outage

A nationwide outage affected driver's licence offices across Kentucky for several hours Monday..

Officials with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) said that a system issue with a vendor, the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, caused the problem.

Circuit court clerk offices as well as KYTC-operated licensing offices were unable to issue licenses.

Around 2:30 p.m., state officials said the problem had been resolved.

Circuit Court Clerk offices and KYTC operated licensing offices are temporarily unable to issue licenses due to a nationwide system issue @AAMVAConnection manages and is working to resolve. There is no time estimate at this time but we will provide an update once resolved.
