Kentucky launches My CDL portal

        In May, Kentucky launched My CDL, a document portal that can be utilized by commercial drivers. As of October 1, My CDL will become the exclusive electronic means for CDL license holders to submit paperwork to the Kentucky Division of Driver Licensing (DDL).
        "My CDL eliminates guesswork of document submission for our CDL customers as well as saves them time and money," said Matt Cole, director of the Division of Driver Licensing. "In addition to providing a modernized, secure, convenient service for our 136,000 CDL holders, the document portal also reduces manual processes for the Division of Driver Licensing. This presents our team of employees opportunity to support customers and time to review CDL document submissions within the 10 days the federal government allows."
        First time users of My CDL are initially redirected to the Kentucky Business One Stop (KBOS) portal to create a KBOS account. Users then gain admittance to the My CDL portal, where they can begin processing their CDL paperwork.
        While visiting http://drive.ky.gov to connect to the CDL document portal, CDL holders can also file trucking taxes, renew vehicle registrations, purchase temporary permits and perform additional functions electronically.
        CDL customers who wish to continue using a nonelectronic method of submitting mandatory documents may visit any of the DDL's regional field offices or the Department of Vehicle Regulation's One-Stop Shop in Frankfort. Paperwork can also be mailed to the Division o f Driver Licensing, 200 Mero Street, Frankfort, Ky. 40622. Field office locations can be found at drive.ky.gov.
        With this new system, documents may not be submitted any longer through circuit clerks' offices.
        CDL holders may continue to submit documents via email or fax through October 1, at which time the DDL will institute My CDL as the sole method of accepting paperwork electronically.
