KHP VIN (vehicle) inspections are done by an appointment only. You can make an appointment by scanning the QR code below or visit the website: kansashighwaypatrol.gov. For customers without a smart phone, you can call (316) 337-7418
If the vehicle you purchased is BRAND NEW and has NEVER BEEN TITLED, it does not need a VIN inspection. The signed manufacturer’s statement/certificate of origin (MSO/MCO) you receive from the dealership at the time of purchase will suffice.
