The Kentucky Motor Vehicle Commission has been advised that-All of the KYTC TC 96 forms have been updated with the KYTC logo. KYTC will accept the prior form while county clerks and dealers exhaust what they may have on hand. Eventually, the new form will be required. This is provided to allow dealers to know KYTC forms have been updated. It is suggested that you begin using the new version when possible. These forms may be found at Drive.ky.gov site or https://transportation.ky.gov/Organizational-Resources/Pages/Forms-Library-(TC-96).aspx ![]()
