How to Register Your Vehicle in Kansas?
The state of Kansas requires all motor vehicles to be registered. This can be done through the county treasurer's office. In addition to registering your vehicle, the county treasurer's office also issues license plates and decals.
Kansas has 105 county treasurers that handle vehicle titles and registrations. They can also register vehicles with personalized plates. In addition, they can process sales tax receipts and property taxes. In order to renew or transfer a license plate, you will need to bring the title signed over to you along with proof of insurance, your current Kansas driver’s license and the plate number from the old car.
If you are registering a vehicle that is owned in a business name or is leased, you must provide the owner’s federal tax identification number (FEIN). This information will be used to verify the identity of the owners and help prevent fraud. The information can also be used to assist law enforcement in tracking vehicle thefts and other crimes. However, it is important to remember that personal information can only be released under certain circumstances. If it is released for any other reason, it could violate your privacy rights and you may face legal action.
