The Christian County Clerk’s Office began processing some vehicle tag renewals and transfers on Tuesday, following a statewide computer system failure that affected transactions for several days.
“The system is up and down at times,” a Christian County official said Tuesday morning in a Facebook post.
Shortly before noon Tuesday, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced the computer system issues had been resolved.
“Delays may be experienced as clerks work through a backlog of vehicle-related service requests,” the cabinet said in a Facebook post.
The problem originated in the cabinet’s Automated Vehicle Information System.
Vehicle owners can also renew their car registration online. It was not affected by the AVIS system failure.
