The transition from the old mainframe AVIS system to the new window-based KAVIS will start on Dec. 29. During this transition, the Spencer County Clerk’s office will only be closed on Friday, Dec. 29, and Monday, Jan. 1, 2024.
The Clerk’s office will be re-open on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024, but will not be able to complete any auto related transactions.
However, customers can still come to the office to drop off their renewals, have their transfer paperwork reviewed, and get vehicle inspections. All other services including marriage licenses, notary, real estate, and voter registration will be available.
“Transitioning to a new computer system is never easy”, said Spencer County Clerk Lynn Hesselbrock. “But to minimize the down time, the Transportation Cabinet chose the beginning of January for the transition.”
“If you normally renew your tags in December, please consider renewing online at www.drive.ky.gov or coming to the office by Dec. 28.
Also, 2024 car taxes don’t get uploaded until Jan. 1, 2024, so these taxes can’t be paid in advance.” Hesselbrock said.
Hesselbrock is also encouraging anyone who needs to transfer a car, pay a delinquency, or request a handicap placard to come to the office before Dec. 28.
