How do I obtain first time vehicle registration in Kansas? Kansas
Register Car in KS
To obtain a car registration certificate, you'll need to visit your local DOR office, which, in Kansas, means your county treasurer's office. To avoid a penalty, vehicle registration must occur within 30 days of the vehicle's purchase date.NOTE: New residents have 90 days after relocating to KS to complete vehicle registration.
When applying, provide your county treasurer with:
- A completed Title and Registration Manual Application. This can be downloaded from the DOR website.
- Proof of valid car insurance.
- Proof of paying personal property taxes.
- A certified Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO).
- A completed Odometer Disclosure Statement, if your vehicle is 10 model years old or newer.
- Either a bill of sale or an Affidavit of Purchase Price.
- A signed-over certificate of title from the previous owner.
- Proof of passing an inspection, if your vehicle was purchased out of state. The inspection must be conducted by the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP). Upon passing, the KHP will issue you an inspection form known as an MVE-1.
- Proper payment. Fees vary by county. Many factors come into play when determining registration fees, including vehicle weight, sales tax, and property tax. For help in pinpointing an exact fee, contact your county treasurer.
