With this agreement, starting from the 22nd, individuals holding a driver's license issued in the Republic of Korea can exchange it for a Kentucky driver's license without taking any additional tests.

Holders of Kentucky driver's licenses who are legally residing in Korea can also obtain a Korean driver's license by only undergoing a physical examination.

Yoon Hee-geun, Commissioner of the National Police Agency, stated, "We expect this to contribute to increasing the convenience for our business personnel operating in Kentucky and to enhancing friendly relations between the two countries."
