Kansas: notifying the DMV after you sell

Kansas doesn't require it, but telling the Kansas Division of Vehicles about your sale is the best way to protect yourself from tickets, tolls or accidents involving the car after it leaves your hands.

  • Deadline: No state deadline. File promptly after pickup.
  • Form: Seller's Notification of Sale (Form TR-216)
  • Where to file: By mail to the Kansas Division of Vehicles
  • Fee: $10
