Kentucky Red Titles: What Is It?

Kentucky Red Titles are misleading pieces of paper indicating a vehicle's status as parts-only or junk. Unlike regular titles, these denote vehicles that are non-repairable and cannot be legally driven on the road. Kentucky is unique in issuing such titles, which don't adhere to federal guidelines. Even within Kentucky, these titles may not be valid in every county.

Neighboring states like Tennessee explicitly state that vehicles with Kentucky Red Titles cannot be registered there or in any other state. These vehicles are often flood-damaged or theft-recovered, deemed unsafe by insurance companies. Federal law prohibits these cars from being registered, and their status cannot be changed to rebuilt or salvage.

If you acquire a vehicle with a Kentucky Red Title, treat it as non-repairable and consider your options carefully. For specific guidance, consult title experts who can verify the vehicle's status.
