Kansas seller preparation

Kansas vehicle title checklist.

Kansas titles may be paper or electronic depending on lien status. Start with the owner and lien information on the state record and use the official resources below.

For a straightforward Kansas sale

  • Confirm that the seller is the owner shown on the title or vehicle record.
  • Complete every required title-assignment field accurately; do not use correction fluid or guess.
  • When the assignment lacks a purchase-price field, Kansas says a Bill of Sale on Form TR-12 may also be required.
  • Check for an electronic or paper lien and obtain the applicable release before promising a transfer.
  • Keep copies of completed transaction records.

Missing or replacement title

Kansas directs eligible owners to Form TR-720B for a secured, duplicate or reissued title. An active lien changes the process.

Electronic title or lien

Kansas is an electronic-title state for vehicles with recorded liens. The lienholder and state record may need to be addressed before transfer.

Business-owned or special vehicle

Signing authority, entity documents, antique status, salvage history or an out-of-state record may change what the county treasurer requires.
