Regular VIN Inspection
VIN inspections are required to take place at a VIN Inspection Station. Non-registered vehicles should be towed or hauled to the examination site and must be able to be unloaded and reloaded by the person presenting the vehicle for inspection.
Cost: $20
- Fees for inspections performed at a KHP Inspection station will be collected by your County Treasurer at the time title/registration work is completed.
- Inspections performed at a designee location, such as a Sheriff’s office, will collect payment at the time of inspection. The form of payment is up to the designee location.
If you have any questions, please contact the location in which you will be getting your inspection done before arrival.
Inspection Requirements
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Inspections are required in Kansas if:
- A vehicle has a title from a state other than Kansas or a foreign country
- A vehicle has been assembled, reconstructed, reconstituted, or restored from 1 or more vehicles
- The proper identification number of a vehicle is in doubt
- A form of Government issued id
This inspection must be completed before the Kansas Department of Revenue will issue a license tag or title for the vehicle.
The VIN inspections are conducted by trained law enforcement personnel employed by the Patrol or designated law enforcement agencies across the state. The majority of these inspections are conducted at a fixed location in each county, but in special circumstances inspections may be done at the location the vehicle is being stored.
Emissions Testing
The State of Kansas does not require emissions testing.
