KRS 186.140: Reciprocity for nonresidents.

Except as provided in KRS 281.835 and 281.836, a nonresident owner, from a state not

requiring registration of nonresidents temporarily in it, who has complied with the laws of

the state of his residence relating to registration of motor vehicles, and who displays the

requisite plates and holds the requisite receipt or certificate of registration as required by

his resident state, shall be exempt from registration in this state for the same period of

time as is granted to nonresident owners by the laws and regulations of his state.

Registration in any other state shall not relieve any owner resident in this state from the

penalties provided in KRS 186.990.
