What is needed to register when I am moving from another state?
You will need to take the vehicle and the title for the vehicle to a Kansas motor vehicle inspection station and obtain a Motor Vehicle Examination (form MVE-1) before going to the county treasurer's motor vehicle office. Contact the Kansas Highway Patrol at http://www.kansashighwaypatrol.org/BusinessDirectoryii.aspx?lngBusinessCategoryID=76 concerning the location and hours of operation of the inspection station. Take the title, MVE-1 and proof of insurance with you to the county treasurer's motor vehicle office to make application for a Kansas title and registration. Each county has their own mill levy for personal property taxes so you will need to contact the county treasurer's office to determine the total amount of fees and taxes due.
*If the title is being held by your lienholder or if the vehicle is being leased, the lien holder or leasing company will need to MAIL the title to the county treasurer's office. Fill out the title request form and mail/fax to the lienholder. Faxed copies will no longer be used to complete the motor vehicle examination resulting in the issuance of an MVE-1. Take proof of insurance, copy of the MVE-1, title, and a current valid registration receipt from the state in which the vehicle was last registered to the county treasurer's motor vehicle office and make application for title and registration. If the paperwork is complete, a license plate will be issued at that time. A new Kansas title will be issued and mailed back to leasing company, if there is no lien holder. If there is a lien on the vehicle, the title will be held electronically until the lien is released.
*If the title is being held electronically, contact the State who holds the title to release it. Fill out the out of state title request form and mail/fax to the State
NOTE: We no longer accept faxed copies of the title.
