To renew your Kansas drivers license, you will need to follow these steps:
-
Gather required documents: You will need to provide proof of identity, Social Security number, proof of Kansas residency, and proof of your principal residence address. This could include your expiring drivers license, renewal card received in the mail, or other acceptable identity and residency documents.
-
Pass a vision exam: You must pass a vision exam with a score of 20/40 or better. This can be done in the office or completed by your vision specialist.
-
Pay the applicable fee: You will need to pay the renewal fee for your drivers license.
-
Visit a full-service drivers license office: You must appear in person at a full-service driver’s license office or county treasurer location that offers renewal service. If you are a CDL holder, you can only renew in a full-service driver’s license office.
-
Renew online: Kansas residents can also renew their drivers licenses online through the iKan platform. This process involves providing personal information and should not take more than a few minutes.
Its important to note that the renewal process can be initiated up to 12 months in advance, and there is no need to wait until the expiration date of your current license. Additionally, there is no need to attend a written test for the renewal process, and appointments are not required; walk-ins are accepted at DMV offices for the renewal process.
