Free Kentucky Vehicle Bill of Sale Template

Use our Kentucky Vehicle Bill of Sale to record the sale of a vehicle and protect both buyer and seller.

Updated February 27, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Brooke Davis

A Kentucky vehicle bill of sale is proof of the transaction between a buyer and seller of a vehicle. If the parties disagree as to the terms of the transaction, the bill of sale illustrates the agreement to which they both consented.

In Kentucky, an odometer disclosure statement must be completed on the date of sale as part of the transfer process.

Kentucky Vehicle Registration

Owners must register their new vehicle at their local County Clerk’s Office no later than 15 days after purchasing their car or 15 days after moving their residence to Kentucky. 

Registrations must be renewed every year during the owner’s birth month.

For the first registration, you must register your vehicle in person at your local County Clerk’s Office. 

After the initial registration, you can renew your registration on the online portal.

FAQs

Does Kentucky require a bill of sale for a car?

The state of Kentucky does not require a bill of sale. However, having one is beneficial because it will help to protect you from any legal disputes.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car privately in Kentucky?

If you are selling your car privately in Kentucky, you will need to hand over the title of the vehicle to the buyer. You must sign the back of the title before a notary. 

The buyer should then go to the County Clerk’s office and show evidence of the following:

  • Certificate of title
  • Fees
  • Kentucky identification
  • Proof of insurance

If the sale is to a non-resident of Kentucky, you must notify the County Clerk’s office of the owner’s new name and state. You must complete the Affidavit of Incomplete Transfer (Form TC96-3) if the vehicle was not transferred in 15 days.

Also, you need to return your Kentucky license plates to your County Clerk’s office.
