Selling a junk car in Kansas: title & DMV rules
Kansas requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Kansas City driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Kansas uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Kansas Division of Vehicles issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Kansas is Application for Duplicate / Non-Highway or Salvage Title.
- License plates
- Remove your plate; Kansas plates stay with the owner for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Kansas has no separate notice form; keep the assigned title copy and bill of sale.
- What Kansas salvage buyers must do
- Kansas distinguishes highway, non-highway, and salvage titles, so a car that hasn't been on the road in years may already need a different title class. Duplicate titles come from the Division of Vehicles; a bonded title covers missing ownership records.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as KS requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
