  • Beginning July 1, 2027, lienholders and motor vehicle dealers (with 25+ annual title applications) must use the electronic title application and registration system to submit liens, titles, and registration documents

  • Starting January 1, 2027, vehicle titles will be held electronically in AVIS rather than mailed to owners; paper titles available upon request for a $6 fee ($4 to county clerk, $2 to Transportation Cabinet)
