Kentucky to start online license plate renewal

FRANKFORT, KY – Kentucky transportation officials have started an online service for people to renew their license plates.

People can access the renewal application from any device. It can be used for people renewing standard, specialty and personalized Kentucky license plates.

John-Mark Hack, commissioner of the Department of Vehicle Regulation, says it provides more convenience for motorists and enhances the department’s efficiency.

Motorists wanting to renew their license plates online need to enter their vehicle title number and license plate number associated with the plate along with payment information. After online renewal completion, registration credentials are mailed to the motorist.

Most Kentucky counties are participating in the online renewal system, although a small number have yet to adopt it.

Officials say the application was built at no cost for the Transportation Cabinet.
