Mover licenses in
Kentucky
Kentucky licenses or registers movers working inside the state statewide.
Get a written estimate, confirm the company name matches the paperwork, and ask how it covers loss or damage. Your state's consumer protection office can tell you what applies. Find your state's office (opens official site).
Ask the licensing office directly: Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Division of Motor Carriers (opens official site).
Moving to another state?
Interstate movers are registered with the federal government, not the state. Search the company in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's mover database, which also shows complaint history.

What the license should say
In Kentucky you may see one of these:
- Household Goods Certificate
- Required for intrastate household goods movers.
The rule to know
A person cannot act as a motor carrier in Kentucky without first getting a certificate from the Transportation Cabinet, and household goods movers get a Household Goods Certificate.
