1. How many questions are on the Kansas non-commercial knowledge test, and what score is needed to pass?
Why: The Kansas knowledge test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions on traffic laws and road signs, and requires a score of 80% to pass.
2. What happens after a fourth failed attempt at either the Kansas knowledge test or driving test?
Why: An applicant gets four chances to pass each test; after a fourth failure of either the knowledge or driving test, Kansas requires waiting a minimum of six months from the most recent failed exam before retesting.
3. How can a Kansas applicant complete the non-commercial knowledge exam without visiting a license office in person?
Why: Kansas lets applicants complete the non-commercial knowledge exam online at ks.knowtodrive.com and bring in their passing results, eliminating the need for an in-office knowledge test.
4. What is Kansas's vision standard for a driver's license, and what can an applicant who doesn't meet it at the license station do?
Why: Kansas's vision test standard is at least 20/40 in at least one eye; an applicant who doesn't meet this at the station may instead submit a Driver Licensing eye examination form completed by a licensed ophthalmologist or optometrist within the last 90 days.
5. How soon must a new Kansas resident who drives obtain a Kansas driver's license?
Why: Anyone who moves to Kansas and operates a motor vehicle on public roadways must obtain a Kansas driver's license within 90 days of becoming a resident.
6. What's required to renew a Kansas driver's license that has been expired for more than one year?
Why: If a Kansas driver's license has been expired for more than one year, the driver must retake all three required tests -- vision, written, and driving -- to renew it, rather than just paying the smaller $1.00 penalty that applies to a merely expired license.
7. Does completing an online driver's education course satisfy Kansas licensing requirements?
Why: Online driver's education courses do not satisfy Kansas licensing requirements -- only an accredited local school district program or an approved private driving school offering at least 8 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction qualifies.
