How a bill of sale is used in Kansas
Practical steps that follow the sale in Kansas — where the title goes, deadlines, and forms — each taken from the state agency or statute.
- Title transfer deadline. After a private sale in Kansas, the buyer has 60 days to apply for a new title and registration. — Kansas DOR Division of Vehicles – Titling a used vehicle ↗
- Where to file. Title and registration in Kansas go through the Kansas Department of Revenue, Division of Vehicles. — Kansas DOR Division of Vehicles – Titling a used vehicle (page title) ↗
- Official form. Kansas publishes its own bill of sale form (Form TR-312, Bill of Sale (Rev. 8-22) — usable to transfer ownership only for antique vehicles (35+ years); all other vehicles transfer by assigned title); the DMV may prefer it for title work, so attach it to this one when in doubt. — Kansas DOR Form TR-312 (Rev. 8-22) ↗
- Odometer. Odometer reading must be entered on the title assignment along with purchase price, date of sale and printed names/signatures of seller(s) and buyer(s); for electronic titles the seller may use Form TR-40 (Power of Attorney, Purchase Price & Odometer Disclosure for Electronic Title). — Kansas DOR Division of Vehicles – Titling a used vehicle ↗
- Liens. If a lienholder is recorded on the title, a lien release is required: released on the title itself, a notarized lien release (Form TR-150), or a letter from the lienholder. Seller must give buyer a lien release or clear paper title before registration; if the lien stays, Form TR-128 Lienholder's Consent to Transfer Ownership is required. — Kansas DOR Division of Vehicles – Titling a used vehicle ↗

Using it with the Kansas DMV
For a vehicle, the buyer usually needs the signed bill of sale — with the signed title — to transfer ownership and register the vehicle. Some states provide their own official form or require notarization. Confirm the exact documents on the Kansas DMV website before you file, and keep a signed copy.
Transferring land or a house? A bill of sale doesn’t cover real estate — that takes a deed, signed and recorded in the local land records. For a transfer between family members or into your own LLC, the Kansas quitclaim deed page sets out the state’s signing and recording rules.
