Kentucky drivers will need to keep their license plate after selling, trading car in 2024
Quote:
Starting in 2024, Kentucky drivers will need to keep their license plates when selling or trading a vehicle. That's because the state's new KAVIS, or Kentucky Automated Vehicle Information System, will link drivers, not vehicles, to license plate numbers and registration tags.
When a vehicle is transferred with an unexpired registration, the seller will remove and keep the plate that was on the vehicle they sold, officials said. The seller can then have their plate and unexpired registration reassigned to any other vehicle they own, including a new one they want to purchase.
Officials said any plate with expired registration, including special plates, will need to be given to the Clerk's Office, where they will reissue a new plate.
There are some restrictions to this new "plate-to-customer" model, however. Historic plates can't be transferred to a car under 25 years old and passenger plates can't be put onto heavy trucks.
