Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Kentucky's rules for instructors, cars and course content. Training from an unlicensed business may not count toward a license, and an insurer may not accept its certificate for a discount.
In Kentucky, driving schools are licensed through the Kentucky State Police.
- Search Kentucky’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- New drivers 16 and 17: at least 4 hours of highway safety training (alcohol and drugs, defensive driving, driver behavior, rules of the road) from an approved provider. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Kentucky State Police before you enroll.
