Kentucky Car Titles

The information in this page is for reference purposes only.  You should consult the county clerks office in your county for specific information regarding your situation and the forms needed.  

Ideally, if the purchase and sale of a vehicle has occurred between two private parties, both the buyer and seller should visit the Kentucky county clerk's office together, however, when this is not possible a notary can assist you by notarizing the needed documents including the title.  

Common Forms

• A completed Application for Kentucky Certificate of Title or Registration (Form TC 96-182), which includes an odometer disclosure. 

• Exempt Transfer Affidavit (for transfers between family members)

If both the seller and buyer cannot be present, signatures on the application may need to be notarized. Contact the county clerk's office for more information.
