How to Fill Out a Kansas Vehicle Title for a Private-Party Sale

Quick answer: Kansas says the assignment on a used vehicle title should include the purchase price, date of sale, odometer reading and the printed names and signatures of the required seller or sellers and buyer or buyers.
IMPORTANT - NOT LEGAL ADVICE: This section is provided only as general educational information. Vehicle ownership, lien status, title type and individual circumstances can change what is required. Always verify current requirements with the Kansas Department of Revenue or the appropriate county treasurer before signing or transferring a vehicle title.
1

Confirm the Names on the Current Title

Before signing anything, verify the ownership names shown on the title. If multiple owners are listed, the wording between their names matters.

2

Enter the Purchase Price and Date of Sale

Kansas requires the vehicle assignment to include the purchase price and sale date. Enter the information carefully and in the appropriate title fields.

3

Complete the Odometer Information

Enter the required odometer reading in the appropriate section of the title.

4

Print and Sign the Required Seller and Buyer Names

Kansas requires the applicable seller and buyer printed names and signatures. Do not assume every title requires only one seller signature.

5

Check Whether the Title Lists "AND" or "OR"

Kansas states that when owners are joined by AND, all listed owners must sign. When joined by OR, either owner may sign. If no connection is shown, Kansas generally treats it as "AND."

6

Verify Any Lien Before Completing the Sale

If a lienholder is recorded on the title, a lien release may be required. Electronic Kansas titles can involve additional steps before registration is completed.

Before making corrections: A vehicle title is an ownership document. If you make a mistake, are unsure which person should sign, or are uncertain where information belongs, verify the proper procedure before adding more marks, alterations or corrections.

Buying a Used Vehicle From a Private Seller in Kansas?

Quick answer: Before applying for Kansas title and registration, make sure the vehicle has a properly assigned title, required ownership signatures, current mileage information, proof of insurance and any required lien release. Out-of-state vehicles generally require a Kansas motor vehicle inspection and MVE-1.

Check the Title

Confirm that the seller information and title assignment are consistent with the vehicle you are purchasing.

Look for a Lien

A lien showing on the title or vehicle record may need to be released before registration can be completed.

Watch the 60-Day Window

Kansas says title and registration should be applied for within 60 days of purchase to avoid penalty.

Want the Simplicity of Buying From a Dealership?

Kansas Vehicle Liens, Electronic Titles and Lien Releases

Quick answer: Kansas generally holds a vehicle title electronically while a security interest or lien is recorded. Once the lien is satisfied, the lienholder must properly release its interest before a clear title can be issued when required.

What Is an E-Title?

Kansas uses electronic title records for vehicles with recorded security interests instead of issuing a standard clear paper title while the lien remains.

What Is a Lien Release?

A lien release documents that the lienholder's interest in the vehicle has been satisfied or released.

How Long Can a Release Take?

KDOR states that after payoff and a proper request, certain payment methods carry a three-business-day lien-release requirement, while other payment methods generally allow ten business days.

Can You Trade a Vehicle That Still Has a Loan?
