Download the TC 94-30 form free from the KYTC Forms Library at transportation.ky.gov before your visit. Offices also have paper copies, but pre-filling at home saves 10-15 minutes at the counter. If you may need an outside eye exam, also download the TC 94-202 Vision Screening Form.
- Download Online: Print a blank or fillable PDF from the KYTC Forms Library.
- In-Person: Pick up a copy at any KYTC Driver Licensing Regional Office. Circuit Court Clerk offices no longer handle driver licensing.
Do I give TC 94-30 to KSP or KYTC?
TC 94-30 is part of the Kentucky driver-licensing application handled through the Transportation Cabinet/Regional Office process. KSP handles the written and vision testing; the Regional Office handles the credential application and issuance.
Can I reuse the same TC 94-30 if my permit test is rescheduled?
Kentucky does not publish a general reuse period for TC 94-30. If your test is rescheduled, make sure every entry is still current before using the form again. For applicants under 18, the separate School Compliance Verification must be current under Kentucky's timing rules.
How to Fill Out the Kentucky TC 94-30 Form Correctly
- Section 1 - Personal Information: Enter your full legal name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate. Include your Social Security Number, date of birth, and sex.
- Section 2 - Physical Characteristics: List your current height, weight, eye color, and hair color.
- Section 3 - Address & Residency: Provide your physical street address. For a REAL ID permit, this must match two proofs of residency.

| Applicant Age | Applicant Signature | Parent/Guardian Signature | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 18 | REQUIRED (at the office) | REQUIRED (parent present with ID) | Parent assumes financial liability |
| 18 and Older | REQUIRED | Not Required | You assume your own liability |

Does Kentucky Form TC 94-30 need to be notarized?
Kentucky does not state a general notarization requirement for TC 94-30. For a minor, the parent or legal guardian must sign the application, and Kentucky's driver manual says the signature is completed at the testing location so an official can witness it and verify guardianship.
Can Parents Fill Out the Kentucky Permit Application for Their Teen?
Parents can pre-fill all demographic fields on TC 94-30 at home to save time. However, both the teen applicant and the parent must sign the form in person in front of the KYTC licensing official - no pre-signing.
The Kentucky learner's permit guide has full eligibility details.
A parent in Lexington filled out the entire TC 94-30 for their 16-year-old but forgot the separate School Compliance Verification Form. The clerk at Leestown Road rejected the application, causing a two-week delay.
How to Fix Mistakes on the Kentucky Learner's Permit Application
Before Submission
- On paper forms, neatly cross out the error, write the correction, and initial it. Do not use white-out.
- On digital PDFs, correct the error and re-print.
At the Counter Before Issuance
Review the information before the credential is issued and correct any application error immediately.
After the Permit is Issued
Once the permit has been issued, use the dedicated Errors on Permit process rather than the application-form process. That page covers correction documents, error type, and replacement fees.
What if my address changes after I fill out TC 94-30 but before my permit is issued?
Correct the address before the credential is issued and bring current proof of the new Kentucky address. Do not let KYTC issue a permit with an address you already know is wrong.
Kentucky Permit Fees and Form Validity
- TC 94-30 form: A blank form does not have a separate permit-validity period.
