VIN inspection on all use vehicles must be completed in the state of Kansas and the original must accompany the title work
Application for a certificate of title and registration must be made through the local county treasurer’s office where the vehicle is garaged.
If the sales tax was paid to another State and there is a difference, you will be responsible for paying the difference.
Previous vehicle must be disposed of prior to the new purchase or sold or traded within 60 days after the new purchase.
The seller may complete a Power of Attorney, Form TR-41, allowing the buyer to complete the assignment.
If the title for the vehicle was issued from another state (not a Kansas title) or the Bill of Sale is from an out of state owner, a vehicle inspection is required. Antique vehicles 1950 or newer sold on a bill of sale require an inspection. The vehicle and title must be taken to a Kansas motor vehicle inspection station and examined and a motor vehicle examination (MVE-1) issued before making application for title and registration. The pink copy of the MVE-1 must be submitted.
