Kentuckians Will No Longer Receive License Renewal Notices

 Kentucky residents will no longer be getting driver license renewal notices in the mail. It’s a move that will save the state an estimated $250,000 a year.

The decision will affect the Kentucky’s 3.6 million license holders. Transportation officials say they are discontinuing the expiration reminder cards in hopes of managing road fund dollars responsibly.

That $250,000 will now go toward building roads and bridges. They will transition to texting and emailing reminders to drivers who voluntarily provide their information.
