Kansas: transferring a plate to another person
Yes
How To Accomplish
Signed relinquishment document
Transfer permission is not necessarily permission to accept payment.
Confirm current requirements for your plate type with the issuing agency before proceeding.
Process, conditions, and sources
- Rule: The system blocks a transfer to a new owner unless a signed personalized plate relinquishment document is captured. Within 31 days of your registration expiring, the relinquishment is required for any transfer.
- Form: Sedgwick County publishes a relinquishment letter naming the recipient.
- Source: Available with Pro or Premium
Before arranging a transfer
- Confirm whether transfer to this recipient and payment are permitted.
- Ask which forms, fees, plate classes, and vehicle-transfer conditions apply.
- Confirm how the agency protects the requested configuration during the process.
- Get the agency’s instructions before releasing your rights or paying the other person.
