1. What are the hours for the Titles and Registrations/Dealer Licensing Bureau in Topeka?
The office hours are 8:00 to 4:45 p.m., Monday through Friday.
2. Does the Titles and Registrations Bureau have a toll free number?
No. Our phone number is (785) 296-3621.
3. I 've lost my title. How do I get a copy/duplicate title?
If there is a lien holder on file with the Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for the vehicle a duplicate title application cannot be accepted at the county treasurer’s motor vehicle office nor will the DMV issue a duplicate title if there is a lien holder on file. 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 the DMV will issue a duplicate title. (Exception, moving out of state.)
If there is no lien holder for the vehicle, a duplicate title application can be made at any county treasurer 's motor vehicle office or by mail directly to the Titles and Registrations Bureau. You will need to complete 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.
NOTE: If you have an out of state loan, check the upper left portion of the receipt for application for title for "SMO to Lienholder". If there is an SMO (Special Mailing Order) noted on the application, the title was mailed to the lien holder. If the lien is paid off, contact the lien holder concerning the title.
If the title was not mailed to the lien holder or the lien holder does not have the title, you will need a lien release to make application for a “reissued” title that will remove the lien so that a title can be printed.
4. What do I do when I want to sell my vehicle to an individual and do not have the title?
The owner/seller should provide the buyer with the current title or registration receipt showing the lienholder’s information. In the event that the seller does not have their registration receipt, obtain a duplicate receipt from either the county treasurer or division of vehicles. Duplicate registrations may only be obtained if the vehicle has a current, valid registration. Vehicles that have an expired registration, salvage or non-highway status will require a verification. Verifications may be obtained from the Titles and Registrations Bureau, local county treasurer or ordered on-line at www.accesskansas.org. If the registration receipt or verification does not show a lien, the customer or dealer may obtain a duplicate title through the normal process. The seller and buyer should complete a TR-39a, “Electronic Title Sales Agreement”. The buyer may present the sellers current registration receipt or verification with the completed TR-39a and proof of insurance to their local county treasurer’s office, to obtain a 30-day permit. The seller must secure a lien release and provide a clear title to the buyer within 30 days.
5. There is an error on the Kansas title that was issued to me. How do I have this corrected?
Take the title to a county treasurer 's office and apply for a corrected title. There is no fee at the time of application. The Titles and Registrations Bureau will research the error. If the error occurred at the county &/or the state, there is no fee for the correction. If the title was issued according to the paperwork submitted, a letter will be sent to the applicant requesting a title fee.
