I've lost my title. How do I obtain a duplicate/replacement title?

If there is a lien holder on the title, a duplicate title application cannot be accepted at the county treasurer’s motor vehicle office nor will the Division of Vehicles issue a duplicate title as long as the lien holder is indicated on the vehicle’s computer record. To determine if there is a lien holder listed on the vehicle record look at the latest registration receipt issued for the vehicle or trailer. If there is a lien holder listed, a lien release will be required before a duplicate title will be issued (it will be a reissued title to remove the lien holder from the computer record and the title).  If there is no lien holder for the vehicle, a duplicate title application can be completed at any county treasurer's motor vehicle office or by mail directly to the Titles and Registrations Bureau. You will need to complete the Application for Secured/Duplicate/Reissue Title, form TR-720B that includes the following information: vehicle year, make and identification number, owner's name(s) and the current odometer reading. Include appropriate title fee. The title fee in Kansas is $10. There is an additional $3 application fee for a repossession title.

What are the requirements of owning and operating an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) in Kansas?

In Kansas, an ATV (defined in K.S.A 8-126(a)) must be titled as a nonhighway due to the ATV not being manufactured for street use. An ATV being sold or traded-in must be titled in the name of the person(s) selling the ATV. The buyer will have 60 days from date of purchase (date of title assignment) to apply for nonhighway title in his or her name. Any person who, on July 1, 1996, is the owner of an ATV does not have to obtain a nonhighway title until they are going to transfer ownership. It is unlawful for any person to operate an all-terrain vehicle: (1) On any interstate highway, federal highway or state highway; or (2) within the corporate limits of any city unless authorized by such city. Check with the city officials as to if your community has authorized the operation of ATV.

Can I get a refund on my tag after I’ve sold my vehicle?
