Steps to Get a New Car Title:

  1. Complete the Application for Duplicate Title
    You'll need to fill out the appropriate form (Form TC 96-182), which can be found on the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet website or at your local County Clerk's office.

    You'll need a valid form of ID, like a driver's license, to confirm your ownership of the vehicle.

  3. Submit the Application
    Once your form is complete, submit it to the County Clerk's office. Make sure to bring your ID and any other required documents.

  4. Pay the Replacement Fee
    Fees can vary depending on your county, so check with your local office for the exact cost.
