A motor vehicle or travel trailer that has incurred damage requiring such vehicle to be designated a salvage vehicle requires a more in-depth inspection. Salvage inspections are only performed at Kansas Highway Patrol VIN Inspection Stations.  The most common items you will need are:

  • The original receipts for all parts purchased and replaced
  • Work order(s) for repairs made
  • Photos of the vehicle showing damage prior to repair
  • Any additional documents associated with the repair of the vehicle

If used replacement parts are used during the repairs, you will be required to provide the VIN number of the donor vehicle (vehicle parts were taken from) for each part used during the repair.  Bring your vehicle and all associated documents to your nearest Kansas Highway Patrol MVE/VIN inspection station for an inspection.

Only select VIN Inspection locations inspect salvaged vehicles due to the complex nature of this type of inspection.
