    Once you pass, you’ll receive your permit and can begin supervised driving.

  • What tests are necessary?

    If you don’t go through a driver’s ed program, you need to pass a written test, which includes 25 questions about basic traffic laws and road signs. All applicants will also need to pass a vision test that requires a vision of at least 20/40 in one eye.

  • What documents do I need to apply?

    You must provide proof of identity, Social Security number, Kansas residency, and if under 18, parental consent. A school attendance form may also be required. Also, remember to bring your signed driving logs.

Zutobi’s tests gradually introduce more questions so you can build confidence before your exam. We also have videos, step-by-step guides, and progress tracking to help you feel confident and ready.

Learner's Permit FAQ

  • What is a learner’s permit?

    A Kansas learner’s permit allows new drivers to practice driving under supervision before getting a restricted or full driver’s license. It’s available to teens as young as 14 years old as part of Kansas’ Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program.

  • Do I need to take a driver’s education course to get my permit?

    Driver’s ed isn’t required to get a learner’s permit, but completing a state-approved course can waive the written test. The driver’s ed program must be approved by the Kansas Department of Education and taken through your local school district.

  • What are the restrictions of a permit?

    You can only drive with a licensed adult over 21 in the front seat, and all mobile devices are prohibited.

  • How long do I need to hold my permit before getting a license?

    If you are under 16, you must hold your permit for at least one year and complete at least 25 hours of supervised driving before moving on to the next stage. You must also complete a Kansas-approved drivers ed course.

    If you’re between 16 and 17 years old, then you need to hold your permit for at least a year and complete 50 hours of supervised driving, of which 10 are at night. Drivers ed is not necessary.

Driver’s License FAQ

  • What are the steps to get a full driver’s license?

    Kansas follows a Graduated Driver Licensing system. After holding a permit for a year, you can apply for a restricted license at 15. At 16, you may qualify for a less restricted license, and by 17, you can get a full, unrestricted license if you meet all requirements.

  • What is the restricted driver’s license?

    At 15 years old, drivers can apply for a restricted license if they have completed driver’s ed and have at least 25 hours of supervised driving. This license lets you drive unsupervised to and from school or work but still has restrictions on passengers and nighttime driving.

  • Do I need to take a driving test to get my Kansas license?

    Yes, the road test is required unless you completed a state-approved driver’s education course, which can waive the test.

  • Do I need car insurance?

    Yes, all drivers in Kansas must have minimum liability insurance to legally operate a vehicle.
