What is needed when the out of state title is branded as salvage, rebuilt salvage or nonrepairable, etc?
The out of state salvage or rebuilt salvage title must be already in the owner’s name or assigned from the owner(s) listed on the front of the title to the new purchaser(s) by completing the assignment of title area on the title. A temporary permit can only be issued for a vehicle that is currently titled as rebuilt salvage and will need to be obtained in the state in which the rebuilt salvage vehicle is being purchased. Once the vehicle is returned to Kansas a motor vehicle examination, (form MVE-1), from the Kansas Highway Patrol must be obtained regardless if the title is salvage or rebuilt salvage. Kansas residents out of Kansas but wanting to make application for a Kansas title and registration need to refer to the inspection question in these FAQ’s. The assigned out of state salvage or rebuilt salvage title and the MVE-1 or out of state inspection will need to be submitted to your county treasurer’s motor vehicle office along with proof of insurance to make application for title
