Common reasons this gets rejected

• Sending original documents instead of copies

  DRIVE explicitly says 'Do not send originals' for mail-in updates. Send photocopies of your residency proof — originals can be lost in the mail.

• Trying to update your address online

  Kentucky's online renewal portal does not support address-only changes. Form TC 94-192 by mail or an in-person visit are your only options.

• Forgetting to update vehicle registration

  DL and vehicle records are NOT linked. Your renewal notice and new registration are mailed to the County Clerk's address on file — update that separately or your tags go to the old address.

• Using forwarded mail as residency proof

  Mail forwarded from your old address won't qualify. You need a piece of mail addressed and sent to your new KY address, postmarked within the last year.

• Not updating Social Security or voter registration

  An address change with the DMV doesn't propagate. Update Social Security (ssa.gov), voter registration (vrsws.sos.ky.gov), and your insurance separately.
