To apply for a salvage/rebuilt title, you will need:

1. Signed and notarized salvaged title from Kentucky or out-of-state. 

2. Signed and notarized seller's signature on the TC 96-184 form where it states "seller's signature," on the bottom left-hand side.

3. Buyer's notarized signature on the TC 96-215 form. 

4. If the boat was repaired, whoever repaired the boat must complete the TC 96-353 form, and have their signature notarized.

5. All receipts, if any, will need to be provided with documentation to get approval from the state to title and register a rebuilt or salvaged boat. 

6. An inspection by the state Fish and Game Warden is required before your paperwork can be submitted to the Transportation Cabinet. Please call 1-606-416-8070 to schedule your inspection.
