| Vehicle Regulation
It is declared to be the policy of this Commonwealth that all commercial vehicles should
be regulated, registered, and the laws pertaining thereto be administered by the
Transportation Cabinet. Motor vehicles other than commercial vehicles should be
registered, regulated, and controlled by the Transportation Cabinet and the Justice
Cabinet. See 186.005

Transfer Procedure If an owner transfers interest in vehicle, he
must, at time of delivery of vehicle, execute an assignment and warranty of title to
transferee on certificate of title or application as provided by Department of Vehicle
Regulation and available from the county clerk. The transferor must cause application with
certificate of title attached to be delivered to transferee. Except as otherwise provided
in this chapter, transferee must, promptly after delivery to him of vehicle, execute the
application for a new certificate of title and registration. Any unexpired registration
remains valid upon transfer of vehicle to transferee. 186A.215 |
| Documents
To County Clerk 15 Days The application with supporting documentation
attached shall promptly be submitted to the county clerk as provided in KRS 186A.115,
together with the required fees. If it comes to attention of transferor that transferee
did not promptly submit the necessary document within fifteen (15) calendar days to the
county clerk as required by law to complete transfer transaction, transferor shall submit
to county clerk, in his county of residence, an affidavit that he has transferred his
interest in specific vehicle, and clerk shall enter appropriate data into the AVIS system
which restricts any registration transaction from occurring on vehicle until transfer has
been processed. 186A.215 |
| Transfer
Requires Taxes Paid, Lien Released, Proof of Insurance and Notarized Affidavit
The county clerk may not transfer registration on any motor vehicle or trailer against
which a tax lien has been filed until the taxes have been paid and lien has been released,
and transferee presents proof of insurance in compliance with KRS 304.39-080 and KRS
186.190. If a notarized affidavit is required and available under KRS 138.450, county
clerk may not transfer registration of a motor vehicle
unless the notarized affidavit attesting to the total and actual consideration paid or to
be paid for vehicle is presented to clerk at time of transfer. If a notarized affidavit is
required but is not available, the county clerk shall contact the Revenue Cabinet to
determine the "retail price" of the vehicle and any taxes due prior to
transferring the vehicle. 186.232 |
| Title
Without Registration Except as otherwise provided, the state resident
owner of a vehicle as defined in KRS 186.010(8)(a), manufactured home, or trailer which
will not be operated upon the highways of this state shall within fifteen (15) days apply
for and obtain a certificate of title in his name. He shall not, however, be required to
obtain a certificate of registration until the vehicle, manufactured home, or trailer is
to be operated upon the highways of this state. 186A.070 |
