Online Vehicle Information System (OVIS)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The vehicle title inquiry provides access to Kentucky vehicle (including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and RVs) owner,  title, registration, and lien information.

​​Welcome to the Online Vehicle Information System (OVIS)! OVIS provides access to Kentucky vehicle (including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and RVs) owner, title, registration, and lien information. Authorized users pay ​an annual $75.00 subscription fee per 10 users to access OVIS vehicle data and can search by VIN or title number to see information about a vehicle registered in Kentucky. When a user successfully searches for a vehicle title record, the user can continue to check/search for status updates on that​ record for 60 days without incurring any additional per-record & search charges. Online access to Kentucky vehicle owner, title, lien, and registration records is provided through the Kentucky.gov Online Vehicle Information System (OVIS) in cooperation with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and is governed by the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 2000 (DPPA).

​To use this service, you must be a registered Kent​ucky.gov user and authorized through one of the provisions of the DPPA. The Kentucky.gov subscriber agreement requires supplemental forms to declare which of the DPPA provisions authorizes you to access this information and to subscribe to the service. Please complete ​the Kentucky.gov Subscriber Agreement and the VTI Agreement to become an authorized user of this​ service.

OVIS will allow authorized users to search with VIN​ or title number to see information about a vehicle registered in Kentucky returning the vehicle registration, current title, dealer assignment category, and lien information. ​​

​OVIS 2.0 is now Live!....​
With this redesign there are now two subscription options; Standard (current) and Premium (optional). The current Standard subscription remains unchanged. Current subscribers can access the OVIS 2.0 with the same credentials and will now have the ability to print their results in PDF format, while the new Premium subscribers will have a few more features.

To help with the transition, an OVIS FAQ page was created and is actively being updated. You may access it directly using the following link or from the main OVIS Access/Information page:
