Kansas Bill of Sale Requirements
Kansas does not strictly require a separate bill of sale to title a vehicle, but one is strongly recommended as proof of the sale. Notarization is recommended but not required for a Kansas vehicle bill of sale. Kansas publishes an official form (Form TR-312 (Bill of Sale)).
- Kansas titles vehicles via the assigned Certificate of Title; for standard (non-antique) vehicles, ownership must be transferred by assigned title, not by bill of sale. A separate Bill of Sale is required mainly when the title assignment has no space to record the purchase price.
- The Kansas Department of Revenue publishes an official Bill of Sale, Form TR-312 (Rev. 8-22), at ksrevenue.gov.
- Notarization is NOT required: the Division of Vehicles states it 'does not require most title assignments, title applications and bills of sale completed within Kansas to be notarized.' The TR-312 form has no notary block. (A lien release / lienholder consent must be notarized, but that is a separate document.)
- Only antique vehicles (35 model years old or older) may have ownership transferred by bill of sale when no title exists; the TR-312 includes an 'Antique Vehicle Transfer of Ownership' section, and antique vehicles 60 years old or newer sold on a bill of sale must obtain an MVE-1 inspection from the Kansas Highway Patrol.
- Application for title must be made within 60 days of the purchase date at the county treasurer's motor vehicle office; penalty is assessed on and after the 61st day.
Federal law (Truth in Mileage Act, 49 CFR Part 580) requires the seller to disclose the odometer reading at transfer for vehicles transferred fewer than 20 years after their model year (the exemption period was raised from 10 to 20 years by a 2019 NHTSA rule, effective for 2011-and-newer model years). For newer vehicles this disclosure is captured in the odometer space on the assigned Certificate of Title rather than on a separate Kansas form. Kansas's TR-312 Bill of Sale does not contain an odometer field, so the odometer disclosure is made via the title assignment. (Vehicles transferred 20+ years after their model year are exempt from the federal disclosure requirement.)
