KRS (Motor Vehicles) § 186.145: Registration of nonresident by use of copy of registration or title document
What this law says, in plain English
Nonresidents may register motor vehicles in this state using photocopies of out-of-state registration or title documents when reciprocal agreements don't apply. Registration receipts issued this way cannot transfer legal title but may transfer to new owners if the foreign registration also transfers.
