Government Offices Close for Veterans Day
State and federal offices, courts, and most Floyd County banks will be closed Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Updated on Nov. 9, 2026 in Military
All state and federal offices, Kentucky and federal courts, circuit court clerk offices, and regional driver's license offices will be closed on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, for Veterans Day. Most banks in Floyd County and U.S. Post Offices will also be closed that day.
Why it matters
The closures mark Veterans Day, a federal observance honoring those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Residents who rely on government offices, banks, or mail services should plan around the closures, while emergency services will continue on their normal schedules.
Courts, state and federal offices, circuit court clerk offices, commonwealth's attorney offices, and Floyd County Courthouse offices are all closed on November 11, 2026. Most Floyd County banks and all U.S. Post Offices will not operate that day, while first responder services remain on regular schedules.

Timeline
Wednesday, November 11, 2026: Veterans Day closures take effect for government offices, banks, and post offices.
Roadmap
Veterans Day has been observed on November 11 since the federal holiday was renamed in 1954 from Armistice Day, which originated in 1938. Closures of government offices and banks on that date continue this long-standing observance pattern in Kentucky and Floyd County.
Residents who need to conduct business with state or federal offices, file in court, visit a driver's license office, or send mail should plan for alternative dates. Floyd County banks and post offices will be unavailable on November 11, so schedule transactions for the following business day.
The takeaway
Because most offices, courts, and banks close together, plan any time-sensitive errands for November 10 or November 12, 2026. Check directly with an office before traveling if the matter is urgent.
