How do I make application for title for a vehicle or trailer that I just purchased or received as a gift?
The new owner of a vehicle or trailer (including ATV’s or work site utility vehicles) must make application for title and registration within 30 days of taking delivery of vehicle. The new owner(s) listed on the assignment as purchaser will need to take the assigned title, proof of insurance, and if purchased from a Kansas dealer, proof that sales tax was paid. If the vehicle or trailer was purchased from an individual or an out of state dealer proof of the purchase price will be required. This proof can be a bill of sale or the purchase price on the title assignment. For out of state dealers, a copy of the sales contract or agreement. If the vehicle is being given as a gift, an Affidavit of Fact, form TR-12, must be completed. If the assignment of title has the “purchase price” space in the assignment of title, write the word “gift” in this space.
