it is not running. As long as the title is still in your name, the plate

Q. I'm moving to Kansas from another state;
how do I register my vehicle?
A. If you have the title, you need to bring in the
title, the vehicle inspection, and the proof of insurance. The person who
is named on the title is the only person who can register the vehicle. If
two names appear on the title with and/or between the names, only
one person has to come in. If two names are on the title with and
between them, both persons must come in. All vehicles coming from out of
state must have a VIN inspection from the Haskell County Sheriff's Office.The
cost is $10.00 in cash.
If you do not have the title because the lienholder of that state keeps it until the vehicle is paid for, you will need to come to the Haskell County Treasurer's Office with your out-of-state registration or a non-negotiable title. We will also need your proof of insurance. We will then title the vehicle. The State will write to your lienholder and request the out-of-state title. You will receive a letter to get an inspection done at the Haskell County Sheriff's Department. You will need to send the pink copy back to the State and the Kansas title will be sent to your lienholder.
Q. What papers will I need to title a newly-purchased
vehicle?
A. You will need the title or MSO (if it's a new car),
signed over to you, the sales tax receipt or bill of sale, the car's current
mileage, and your proof of insurance. When transferring a tag between two
cars, you need the current registration or tag number of the old car and
the name and address of the person to whom the vehicle was sold.
Q. What are your office hours?
A. The Tag Office is open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
including lunch hour, Monday through Friday. The office stops doing vehicle
