FRANKFORT,  Ky.  (Aug.   28,  2017)-  Having launched   My   CDL-the   Commonwealth's   document portal  for commercial  drivers in  May to  maximize efficiency and improve customer satisfaction,   the  Kentucky   Division of  Driver   Licensing   (DDL)  is now  establishing the  My  CDL  portal as  the exclusive  electronic means  of receiving
paperwork from  commercial driver's   license  (CDL)   holders.   To complete  CDL  applications and  self­ certifications online and  to upload   pictures of  medical examiners'  certificates and  waivers,   commercial drivers need to visit  My  CDL:  Kentucky  CDL   Document   Portal,   which is  accessible vhttp://drive.ky.qov. 
With  the  demanding   schedules   prevalent   among  the  trucking   industry,   commercial   drivers  are  already  enjoying 24/7  access to  My  CDL,  which provides  the convenience   of submitting   paperwork via  any smartphone,  PC,  laptop or  tablet.   Upon submitting   paperwork via  the portal,   My  CDL  users receive an email  confirmation of document receipt,   and within   1  O  days,   users are  alerted via  email whether   their reviewed   documents meet  federal guidelines or require further attention. 

"My  CDL  eliminates  the  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.   "ln  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   ten   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.   A  tutorial for  navigating   My  CDL  is avhttps://youtu.be/ASVTd3c48Uo,   and  My  CDL   quick reference   guides are  accessible   http://bit.ly/2gc7xwK.  

While visiting   http://drive.ky.qov    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   or  may  mail   CDL   paperwork   to  the   Division   of  Driver   Licensing,   200   Mero  Street,   Frankfort,   KY
