Exciting News for Vehicle Owners in Kentucky!

Hey there, residents of Kentucky! If you’ve been dreaming about giving your car a fresh new look without all the paperwork hassle, you’re in luck. It turns out, if you decide to change the color of your vehicle—perhaps by slapping on some vibrant vinyl wraps—you don’t need to let the county clerk know about it! That’s right, you can revamp your ride without a fuss. However, it’s wise to be in the know about a few recommendations that could keep you safe on the road.

Is It Really Required to Notify County Clerk?

While it’s not actually required to inform local authorities when you change your car’s color, it might be a good idea to keep your vehicle registration up to date. If you find yourself switching it up from the official color recorded on your vehicle registration, it may be beneficial to take a quick trip to your local County Clerk’s office. They’re super friendly and will gladly help you update your details with just a couple of documents. Just bring your vehicle title and some form of personal ID along, and for just $9, you can ensure that everything matches up.

Checking In with Your Insurance Agent

Before diving into your car makeover, perhaps ask your insurance agent for some advice. The app Jerry, known for handy insurance tips, suggests making sure your agent is aware of any changes. After all, if something unfortunate happens—like an accident—having a mismatch between your vehicle’s color and what is recorded on your insurance could complicate things significantly.
