Kentucky Keeps Forgetting To Suspend My License

Location: Kentucky

Living location: Ohio

11/26 Last year I got a DUI in Kentucky. First offense, no previous record.

I served a day, made bail, got a lawyer, went home to ohio.

I did not take a breathyzer test, by Kentucky law my license is automatically suspended for 6 months.

It never happened. My license was still valid in both states through 2026.

Oct 5th'26 I pled guilty. My terms were court costs, 20h of alcohol awareness class, and since they never suspended my license, my license would be suspended for 6 months, within 48h of the proceeding. I could continue driving if I got an ignition lock.

I do not drink anymore period. I applied for the ignition lock but they rejected it as my license is still valid in both states.

I want to follow the law but Im not sure what to do. It appears I "slipped through the cracks" - judge, again.

People have told me Im doing the best to follow the terms. I check my license every day to see if its suspended but no luck.

I just ran a background check and I still don't see any records in Kentucky.

I texted the lawyer but no response yet.
