KYTC: Avoid county clerk offices in early January

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is asking Kentuckians to avoid going to county clerk offices in early January.

A major step forward in modernizing the state's vehicle information database will occur as transportation officials migrate to a new, customer-centric system. 

All County Clerk offices will temporarily pause in-person and online motor and vessel-related services January 1st  to accommodate the transition. 

The suspension of services will last four to 10 business days and may cause longer wait times when services resume. 

The following services will be unavailable during the migration: vehicle and boat registration renewals, vehicle and boat titling and transfers, disabled parking permit issuance and license plate issuance. 

Vehicle owners due to renew in December are encouraged to do so early before holiday closures.
