Who must sign the title assignment or application for title and registration or registration renewal when there is “and”, “and/or” and “or” between the names?
In Kansas, if there is more than one owner showing on the face of the title or as buyers on an assignment, the following number of signatures will be required when there is the connection between the names shown below: • And – All persons listed before and after the “and” must sign. • &/or – Either the person before or after the “&/or, and/or” can sign, only one signature required. • Or – Either the person before or after the “or” can sign, only one signature required. Due to difficulties with other titling jurisdictions interpretation of “and/or” differently than that from Kansas, it is suggested that if you want only one (1) person to be allowed to sign all transactions for a vehicle, the word “or” be used between names. The Kansas Division of Vehicle interprets two or more names with no connection between the names to be “and”, which will require all persons listed to sign as owner.
