Growing up in Lexington, going to the DMV was a living nightmare. This place couldn't be more different. Fast, efficient, and so friendly!

For a place where there is no DMV or open on Saturday atleast they are only open from 8-430. This area has alot of people that work trade jobs or just normal 8-5 jobs. Your losing a day of work or partial day.

We have several family members who are handicapped and the clerks office has always been tremendous about helping us handle our vehicle registrations over the phone and mailing them to us. This service is priceless on our lives

I moved to Illinois end of July and I am stuck paying $141.000 for the whole year of vehicle tax! So unfair as I had to also pay for Illinois registration $300+ The very least it could of been pro-rated for the time I was in Kentucky :/
