- Renew Your Driver's License in Kentucky. To continue driving legally in Kentucky, you need to make sure your driver's license is valid. Before it expires, you must renew it with your local county of residence KY Circuit Court Clerk's office.

Completing Driver's Ed will not only give you the knowledge to be a safer driver in Kentucky, but it may also reduce your insurance premiums, depending on your provider.

On this page you'll find information about your driver's education requirements in Kentucky, your options for enrolling in a course, and the next steps to take towards your first driver's license.

- Making responsible choices while driving.
- Driver licensing laws.
