What is required to register a newly purchased vehicle?

Asked a year ago
To register a newly purchased vehicle in Kentucky, you will need several documents. Firstly, you must provide a completed Application for Kentucky Certificate of Title or Registration (Form TC 96-182). Proof of ownership, such as a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, Bill of Sale, or title signed over to you, is also essential. Additionally, you must present a valid Kentucky Certificate of Title or current out-of-state title if you're transferring from another state. Along with these documents, you'll need to show proof of Kentucky insurance, which meets the state's minimum liability requirements. You'll also need to provide proof of identification, like a driver's license or state ID card. Finally, be prepared to pay the necessary fees, which include title transfer fees, usage tax, property tax, and a registration fee.
