If you already have your permit, the Eligibility Letter is no longer a requirement.
To take the written driver’s permit test, state law (KRS 159.051) requires an original Driver’s School Compliance Verification Form (No Pass/No Drive) featuring an embossed school seal.
Eligibility Requirements: During the previous semester, the student must have:
Fewer than 9 unexcused absences
Passed at least 4 out of 6 classes (or equivalent)
Exemptions: You do not need this form if you:
Are taking the road test (already have a permit)
Are 18 years or older
Have graduated high school
How to Request a Form
Students Turning 15: Request your form 1–2 weeks before your 15th birthday. It will be post-dated for your birthday and is valid for 60 days.
Processing: Email Mitzi Fugate at mitzi.fugate@jessamine.kyschools.us or call (859) 885-7240. Please allow up to 2 school days. We do not process requests when school is closed.
Note: State law requires schools to report students under 18 who drop below academic or attendance standards at the end of each semester, which results in the revocation of a permit or driving privileges.
TIP: If appointment times are unavailable for your desired testing location,
please check back the following business day around 8:00 AM.
New appointments are made available each morning,
so daily check-ins should help you secure an appointment.
