KY hosting events on May 17 for new permit applicants From Sherry Bray Frankfort, KY - Now that a new Kentucky law, House Bill 15, has taken effect allowing 15-year-olds to earn their driver's permits, Team Kentucky is hosting events across the state on Saturday, May 17, 2025, to help meet the increased interest from young Kentuckians wanting to apply for a permit.

Appointments will be released online at NoonCT on Friday, May 9, 2025, and applicants can select the time and location that best meets their schedule when accessing the portal online. Applicants can take the test in any county offered that day. These events will not include road skills or CDL testing.

"The online portal for this event requires applicants to have specific information before finalizing their testing appointment," said Capt. Baker. "If you want to obtain one of these appointments successfully, you must have your Social Security number, date of birth and address at your fingertips before logging in online." Prior to arriving to take their written permit test with the Kentucky State Police, Kentuckians should remember to:

Those options for renewing your license include:
