Does Kansas title boats or watercraft? Boat trailers?
Kansas does not title boats or watercraft. Visit the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to learn more about boat registration requirements in Kansas. Boat trailers must be titled and registered if the gross operating weight* is 2,001 lbs or more. If the owner of a boat trailer, which is required to be titled, is going to sell or transfer ownership of the trailer which has never been titled, he or she must obtain a title in his or her name before selling or transferring ownership. To obtain a title for the boat trailer the owner must complete a Vehicle/Motor Ownership Affidavit, form TR-90. Take the trailer and the completed TR-90 to an inspection station and obtain an MVE-1. Contact the Kansas Highway Patrol concerning locations of inspection stations and hours of operation. Take the TR-90, the MVE-1 and submit it to the county treasurer’s motor vehicle office to make application for a title and registration for the trailer.
