Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Kansas.
Registering in Kansas
New residents have 90 days to title and register at the county treasurer's office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection by the Kansas Highway Patrol. Check ksrevenue.gov for current requirements.
Johnson County Suburbs
Overland Park, Olathe, and Leawood neighborhoods often have HOA truck rules. The driver will meet you at the entrance.
Kansas VIN Inspection
Cars titled out of state need a VIN inspection before you register in Kansas. There's no emissions test.
Charlotte Pickups
Charlotte, Huntersville, Matthews, and Concord sit where I-77 and I-85 meet, so carriers come through every day. Many newer subdivisions have HOA truck rules or tight cul-de-sacs, so the driver may meet you at the entrance or a lot near the interstate.
