I'm moving to Kansas from another state; how do I register my vehicle?

If you have the title, you need to bring in the title, the vehicle inspection, the registration from where it is currently registered, and proof of insurance. 

The person who is named on the title is the only person who can register the vehicle. 

If two names appear on the title with “and/or” between the names, only one person has to come in. 

If two names are on the title with “and” between them, both persons must come in. 

All vehicles coming from out of state must have a VIN inspection from the inspector in our lobby. The cost is $20.00 in cash.

If you do not have a title due to having a lien/loan on it, you will need to contact your lender to have them mail the original paper title to the Riley County Treasurer's Office located at 110 Courthouse Plaza, Manhattan KS, 66502. 

You will then need to come to the Riley County Treasurer's Office with your out-of-state registration and your proof of insurance. 

You will have to pay $20.00 in cash for a VIN inspection.   

Your title will then become a Kansas Electronic Title.
