New appointments are added to the website every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 8 a.m. ET. Appointments may be made at any time, but can fill up quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to arriving to take their written permit test with the Kentucky State Police, 15-year-old Kentuckians should remember to:<\/p>\n<p>Gather all required documentation to take to your appointment so the permit test can be administered. Necessary documents include proof of identity such as birth certificate (not a photocopy), proof of Social Security and a School Compliance Verification Form. See <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.ky.gov\/Pages\/index.aspx\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Drive.ky.gov<\/a> for full list and more info.<br \/>\nStudy the Kentucky Driver Manual, which can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kentucky-Driver-Manual-10-11-2023.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. Should an applicant not pass the written test, they can schedule another appointment on the website.<\/p>\n<p>For any 15-year-old who already has an appointment to take their written permit test, they do not need to reschedule or make a new appointment.<\/p>\n<p>House Bill 15 only allows more time for eligible drivers to hold a permit. State law still requires you to be 16 years old to obtain an intermediate license.
