To get your Kentucky KSP Instruction Permit (Learner’s), you must be at least 16 years of age and pass a vision screening and written knowledge test. The drivers’ knowledge test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions covering materials as outlined in the state’s Kentucky KSP 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 80% (32 out of 40 questions). If you fail, you must wait until the next business day to retest. Our practice tests ensure this is not an outcome.
Our free online Kentucky KSP Permit Practice Test is updated for October 2025 and mimics actual exam conditions. Immediate feedback for each question and answer is provided to speed learning.
Kentucky’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program, designed to help minors gradually gain experience in driving, begins with the Instruction Permit (age 16 required). With this permit, you must have a licensed adult (aged 21+) in the car with you and log 60 hours of driving (including 10 at night). After holding your instruction permit for 180 days, you can take a skills test to get your intermediate license. With an intermediate license, you’re allowed to drive unsupervised except between midnight and 6 a.m. for the first 180 days (with exceptions). You are also limited to one non-family passenger under 20. After reaching age 17, holding the intermediate license for 180 days with no traffic violations, and completing a state-approved driver education course, you can get your unrestricted license.
If you’re 18 or older, you don’t need to complete driver education or GDL phases but must pass the vision and knowledge test to receive a learner’s permit, allowing supervised driving. If you’re 18-20, you must hold your permit for 180 days before taking the skills test. If you’re 21 or older, you may take the skills test when ready to get an unrestricted license.
To apply for a permit, visit the KSP with proof of identity (birth certificate, passport), Social Security card, proof of legal presence, and one proof of residence, or two for a REAL ID (utility bill, bank statement). If under 18, you’ll need a consent form (signed in person) from a parent or legal guardian and a required Kentuckyschool compliance verification form. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
