186A.060 Department of Vehicle Regulation to develop forms -- Reduction of paperwork required. The Department of Vehicle Regulation is directed to develop, in cooperation with county clerks, <br>auto dealers, and the Department of Revenue, Department of Insurance, and Department of <br>Kentucky State Police, the forms required to record all information pertinent to the initial <br>registration, or titling and taxation, or transfer of registration or title of a vehicle. The Department <br>of Vehicle Regulation shall make every effort to minimize and reduce the amount of paperwork <br>required to apply for, or transfer, a vehicle title. When possible, the title document itself shall be <br>used as the primary form used to effect a transfer of vehicle ownership. When no in-state title <br>exists, then forms shall be designed by the department that require only the appropriate and <br>essential information to effect the application for title. The department shall constantly review <br>the information needs of government agencies and other organizations with the goal of reducing, <br>or eliminating, unnecessary documentation. Information being sought for application for title <br>relevant to, but not limited to, vehicle identification, owner, buyer, usage tax, county clerk or <br>inspector shall be set forth by the cabinet in such a way as to promote flexibility in reaching this <br>goal, except that an applicant for a motor vehicle title shall not be required to provide his or her <br>social security number as part of the application process. The use of an electronic medium shall <br>be employed so that forms can be printed by the automated system. Existing statutory language in <br>this chapter and KRS Chapter 186 pertaining to application, signature, forms, or application <br>transfer record may be construed to be electronic in nature at the discretion of the cabinet as <br>provided for by administrative regulation. Any person who knowingly enters, or attests to the <br>entry of, false or erroneous information in pursuit of a certificate of title shall be guilty of forgery <br>in the second degree.
