Don't blame the messenger!

Kentucky motor vehicle registration renewal notices have the County Clerk's name and address on them, but are mailed by a vendor for the Department of Revenue. The June renewal notices were mailed late after this vendor has once again failed in their responsibility.

Please note, you don't need to wait on the reminder notices. They are not required for you to renew. Failure to receive a notice does not absolve you of the obligation to pay your tax and registration by due date.

In the near future, drivers will be able to choose to have their notices either texted or emailed to them rather than receive the postcard in the mail. The system is not in place yet, but only those who opt in will receive all renewal notices digitally.

If this interests you, please be sure we have your current cell phone number or email address.
