Renew Tags on a Motor Vehicle

Getting your tags renewed online is the easiest way to complete the yearly requirement! Whether you own a car, truck, motorcycle, motorized bike or trailer you are required to renew the registration yearly. To get the renewal you will need to complete all the steps, including paying both the renewal fee and the local property taxes.   Let's get started! 

Make sure renewal is the right process 

• Is the car in someone else's name?
• Was the car a gift?
• Is the car new to you?

If you thought yes to any of these questions, you might need to start the registration process. You can find out what you need to register HERE 

Has anything changed?

If you name was different last year at the time you renewed or your title is in a different name you might need to do a change of name with us before you can get started. Do that right here. 

Make sure you allow time for use to process any changes before you start the renewal online process. 

Update Personal Information

Make Sure Your Insurance is Valid

The card is not enough - the insurance must be valid to renew your tag. The insurance agent must have reported to the insurance commission that your insurance is valid. If you get started online and can not proceed - it could be because the insurance on file with the State of Kansas has not be updated. Check in with your insurance agent. If you run into this please come into the office or use our mail-in/drop off services so we can help you get your renewal processed.

4. Permit number, if it was a 30 day permit 
5. Plate number and type (Standard,  Personalized, College, etc.)

Should make a Police Report? 

If your vehicle license plate was stolen then you need to start by making a police report. 

If it was the renewal sticker only, no police report is required. You will need to fill out the Lost or Stolen Affidavit  

Make the Police Report 

Make sure you contact the Police Department for the location of the theft. When you make the report, make sure to record the Police Report Number, sometimes called the incident number. You will need this to complete the process.
