K.A.R. 92-51-25(b): if the foreign state has no title law, the applicant presents a bill of sale from the seller and a foreign registration receipt (in the applicant's name, properly assigned, or reassigned by a registered dealer of the issuing state); both are surrendered to the county treasurer.

The regulation speaks of a 'foreign state'; it may refer to other U.S. states and is NOT verified to cover vehicles imported from other countries.
The text was read on Cornell LII's copy; the official Kansas site was not retrieved. No Kansas Department of Revenue page on customs forms, HS-7, the 25-year exemption or kei vehicles was read.
