Kansas Personalized License Plate Re-Issue

Kansas Statute authorizes the re-issuance of personalized license plates each five years. New plates will be issued during calendar years 2005-2010.

                            

New Kansas personalized license plate with a picture of a buffalo

We are pleased to offer the Kansas buffalo design, which was awarded the Automobile License Plate Collectors Association’s “Best Plate” award for 2005.  The design was approved by the Governor’s Office, as being consistent with Kansas history, and with the Kansas quarter theme distributed in 2005.  The auto rim bears the shape of the state, and gives the plate a “retro” look, much like Kansas plate designs that began in the nineteen fifties.

If you would like to purchase a personalized license plabe for your auto, truck or motorcycle, please visit your local county treasurer’s office for details.

The cost of personalized plates remains $40.00, payable one time only, for the period of the five year plate cycle.  This fee is in addition to any vehicle registration fees, personal property taxes, reflectorized plate fees, and county service fees, that are due during annual vehicle registrations. 

Kansas Statute allows for a total of seven letters, numbers and/or spaces to be displayed on personalized automobile license plates, and five letters, numbers and/or spaces may be displayed on a motorcycle personalized license plate, or disabled personalized plate.   The statute also disallows combinations deemed, by the Director of Vehicles, to have a profane, vulgar, lewd, or indecent meaning or connotation.
