Tyler’s solutions will make titling and lien processes more efficient for Kentucky’s government, businesses, and residents

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced it has signed an agreement with its strategic partner Champ Titles, Inc. and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to implement Tyler’s electronic solutions for vehicle titling and liens.

Kentucky State House Bill 284, passed during the 2022 Regular Session, creates a new section of existing law to establish electronic title and lien applications and registration systems that allow submission of required forms and fees electronically. Because of this mandate, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet needed to select software solutions for electronic vehicle titling and liens.

“We were intrigued by the reviews from our counterpart in West Virginia, where the solution is in production, and the system demonstration revealed it was capable of meeting our requirements,” said Heather Stout, executive director of Information Technology, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. “We’re excited to implement a solution to make the vehicle titling and lien processes more efficient for our constituents.”

The county clerks of Kentucky currently process title and lien applications through a paper driven process and wanted more efficient processing capabilities. Tyler and its strategic partner, Champ Titles, will provide several benefits to all stakeholders in the vehicle title and lien ecosystem through this electronic transformation, including serving vehicle retailers, lending institutions, insurance carriers, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and the residents of Kentucky. Some of the notable benefits will include:

  • Reduced costs. Paperless transaction processing saves time and money for dealers, lenders, residents, and agency staff.
  • Improved efficiency. It is expected that title transfer times will average less than three days once Tyler’s system is fully implemented. Additionally, one title clerk will be able to process at least five times as many titles as is currently done.
  • Near elimination of current fraud. Paper processes are prone to errors and can be easily manipulated, allowing for more opportunities to perpetrate fraud. Once digital processes have replaced transacting in paper, most forms of title fraud become impossible.
  • Increased environmental benefits. By operating in a fully paperless environment, the state of Kentucky and users of the electronic titling system will be able to eliminate the use of more than 15 million pieces of paper each year. In addition, as title and lien transactions become fully digital, commutes to and from county clerk offices to submit documents are reduced.

Tyler and Champ Titles first introduced statewide digital titling in West Virginia in 2021. Already, the digital titling program has eliminated more than 5 million pieces of paper annually, reduced the processing time from 40-60 days to a matter of hours, and increased productivity with title clerks processing five times as many titles per day.

“We’re excited to introduce electronic titling and liens to the state of Kentucky, along with our partner, Champ Titles,” said Carlos Luna, general manager for Tyler’s Kentucky state enterprise. “We know that going paperless brings numerous benefits not only to our client, but more importantly to residents. We look forward to helping the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet realize benefits such as reduced costs, streamlined processes, and more accurate and secure information.”
