Driver testing, including the written permit test and vision screening, is administered exclusively by the Kentucky State Police (KSP), not the county DMV office.
You must schedule an appointment for the written/vision test through the KSP online appointment system. The Nelson County DMV Office you listed is a Driver Licensing Regional Office where you’ll go after passing your tests to get the permit credential issued.
Testing Requirement: If your driver’s license was suspended for more than one (1) year, you are required to retake and pass the written knowledge and vision tests before your driving privileges can be reinstated.
What to Expect for the Test
The Kentucky written permit test typically has 40 questions (30 on rules of the road and 10 on road signs).
You must answer at least 24 of the rules questions correctly and at least 8 of the road sign questions correctly to pass.
