Tag Renewal
The state sends out courtesy renewals 45 days in advance. If you receive a renewal notice in the mail you have a couple of options.

You can renew you registration electronically online or by phone if:

  • Your vehicle is currently registered in Kansas
  • You have a Kansas motor vehicle registration renewal notice with a Pin number
  • Your address on the renewal is current (if your address has changed, do not renew electronically, as your decal or plate will be mailed to this address)
  • Your vehicle is currently insured by a participating insurance company

You will need to take your out of state title and vehicle to the Kansas Department of Transportation building on 1020 S Range, Wednesdays only from 10:00am-1:00pm and have your vehicle inspected. The Kansas Highway Patrol will give you a MVE-1 form, bring that up along with your title and proof of insurance, any other supporting documents, and we will issue you a Kansas plate and registration.
