All county clerk offices remain temporarily unable to process vehicle-related transactions due to intermittent system issues.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says county clerks use the Automated Vehicle Information System to process transactions such as vehicle registrations, transfers and vehicle titling.
A transfer of systems over the Fourth of July holiday weekend from AVIS to a new inventory system caused a service interruption. The new system is part of an effort to modernize license plate production and to support the cabinet’s goal of transferring all motor vehicle transactions from the 40-year-old AVIS system to a new system.
Kentuckians should contact the local county clerk office to ensure it is open for non-vehicular business and be prepared for delays. Kentuckians also can renew vehicle registrations online at drive.ky.gov.
