How to Apply for a Duplicate Auto Title in Kentucky
We all misplace, lose or accidentally destroy pieces of paper once in a while, and unfortunately that piece of paper may be your vehicle's title. The state of Kentucky will send you a duplicate title if you no longer have the original one in your possession or if the original one is torn. You must deal directly with your local county clerk's office to request a duplicate title.
