I went to get my license renewed and eye test done here. I turned in my form and was told I would receive my temporary license via email, and my physical id via mail. I never received either from them. I tried calling upwards of 15 times over several days and the phone wasn’t picked up once. I had to call the Kentucky transportation department, who informed me they had nothing recent in their system for me… even though I filled out and turned in all information they needed from me. The person I spoke to at the KY transportation department even reached out to the manager of the branch and said they should contact me within the day, or the very next day. And yet, days later… nothing. It is extremely frustrating that they have not made any attempt to fix the mistake that THEY made. I now have to go back in person and fix the mistake myself, something that shouldn’t even be necessary if they had just processed my information correctly the first time. It’s honestly ridiculous that a government-run office can lose someone’s personal information, ignore countless calls, and then leave the person who followed all the rules to clean up their mess.

I check every morning for an appointment for the driver's test. Every morning it says ".no availability ". I've tried at all different times. I don't know how to get my kid her license if she can never get an appointment for the driver's test

This DMV is a complete nightmare. I wasted six hours waiting as walk-ins were constantly pushed aside for appointments and tests. There’s no clear system, no transparency about wait times, and zero regard for the people stuck there all day. After finally getting called, I was turned away over a minor technicality—something that could have easily been handled with a little common sense. Instead, the staff was cold, unhelpful, and unwilling to make any reasonable exception. It’s clear they don’t care how much of your time they waste. If you don’t have an appointment, stay far away unless you enjoy waiting hours just to be dismissed in seconds.
