(1)The Department of Vehicle Regulation is directed to develop, in cooperation with
county clerks, auto dealers, and the Department of Revenue, Department of
Insurance, and Department of Kentucky State Police, the forms required to record
all information pertinent to the registration, titling, and taxation of a vehicle.
(2)The Department of Vehicle Regulation shall make every effort to minimize and
reduce the amount of paperwork required to apply for, or transfer, a vehicle title.
When possible, the title document itself shall be used as the primary form used to
effect a transfer of vehicle ownership. The title document shall contain space
exclusively reserved for a minimum of two
(2)dealer assignments.
(3)When no in-state title exists, forms shall be designed by the department that require
only the appropriate and essential information to effect the application for title.
(a)The department shall constantly review the information needs of government
agencies and other organizations with the goal of reducing or eliminating
unnecessary documentation. Information being sought for application for title
relevant to, but not limited to, vehicle identification, owner, buyer, usage tax,
county clerk, or inspector shall be set forth by the cabinet in such a way as to
promote flexibility in reaching this goal.
(b)Subject to the limitations of paragraph
(c)of this subsection, an applicant for a
motor vehicle title shall be required to provide his or her Kentucky operator's
license number, Kentucky personal identification card number, or Social
Security number as part of the application process.
(c)If a motor vehicle is jointly owned, one
(1)of the owners, who is a resident of
Kentucky, shall be identified as the designated owner, and only the designated
owner shall be required to provide his or her Kentucky operator's license
number, Kentucky personal identification card number, or Social Security
number as part of the application process.
(d)Any vehicle owned by a business that is licensed by the Secretary of State
shall be titled and registered using a Federal Employer Identification Number.
(e)An applicant for a motor vehicle registration shall be required to provide his
or her Kentucky operator's license or Social Security number as part of the
application process.
(f)If a motor vehicle has situs and is principally operated in Kentucky, and the
owner does not reside in the Commonwealth, the motor vehicle shall be
registered with the owner's Social Security number and out-of-state operator's
license number.
(5)The use of an electronic medium shall be employed so that forms can be printed by
the automated system. Existing statutory language in this chapter and KRS Chapter
186 pertaining to application, signature, forms, or application transfer record may
be construed to be electronic in nature at the discretion of the cabinet as provided
for by administrative regulation.
(6)Any person who knowingly enters, or attests to the entry of, false or erroneous information in pursuit of a certificate of title shall be guilty of forgery in the second degree.
