Kentucky Vehicle Registration
\n<\/b><\/strong>In Kentucky, the county clerk is responsible for issuing motor vehicle registrations and titles. The following items are necessary to complete the licensing of your vehicle(s) in Kentucky. If you own your car without liens, you will need a certified inspection from the sheriff\u2019s office from the county of your new residence, original out-of-state title, the original registration receipt, original current proof of insurance, proof of sales\/usage\/use tax paid to the previous state, and picture ID or driver license. New residents with liens will need to obtain a letter from their new county clerk\u2019s office that requests the title from the previous state if applicable or the original out-of-state title with the lien listed on it. For more information or answers to questions including the protocol for leased vehicles, contact the Division of Motor Vehicle Licensing or your county clerk:<\/p>\n

Kentucky Safety Laws
\n<\/b><\/strong>Kentucky law demands that the driver and all passengers in a moving vehicle must be secured in a properly adjusted seat belt at all times. Furthermore, all children who are less than 40 inches in height must be properly secured in a federally approved child safety restraint system. The law is primary, which means that violators can be pulled over and ticketed without the involvement of any other violation. The safest position in a vehicle for children is always the rear seat, which has been statistically shown to save lives and reduce injuries.
