Titling Requirements and Procedure in Kansas

A title application for a used vehicle can be done at a state county treasurer branch within two months of becoming the new owner. If a used car were acquired from a private sale, the seller may need to provide a signed copy of the Power of Attorney to the buyer(s). This paper will allow the buyer(s) to title the vehicle as the new owner(s).

If a certain vehicle has more than one owner, it must be indicated with a conjunction “OR” if it requires only one signature from any owners. Add “AND” or do not add any conjunction if all owners must provide their signatures. Lost or damaged titles can be replaced by submitting the request form.

If a lien has been identified on a used car, the applicant must provide the lienholder’s written consent for its release. Vehicles with an out-of-state title, or were purchased as “used vehicle” outside of Kansas, must undergo vehicle inspection at a certified state inspection station. Upon completion, a car examination paper (or MVE-1) will be issued. You will need the pink copy of the paper to get a Kansas vehicle title.

Visit the “Titling a used vehicle with a paper title” page for more details about paper titling. If you want a more convenient approach to handling your title and lien, you may try the state’s Electronic Liens and Title System. A more secure, faster, and cheaper platform in doing title-related transactions.
