From the KDOR Division of Vehicles:

For your information, please know that there is a scam call/text message circulating in Kansas at this time that references outstanding traffic violation tickets and rule 16C-16.003 with a payment request by March 7, 2026. IT IS A SCAM!!

Please advise anyone reaching out to delete that text and not to respond, pay or click any links in that bogus text message.

An example of the message is attached for reference.
Thank you.

The driver’s license office will be closed again today, July 23, 2024, due to the computer system not working after the global outage. Techs are being sent out to assess the problem and hopefully we will be back up before the end of this week.
Vehicle business is up and running.

Due to the global issue that is affecting companies worldwide, KDOR systems are not working. This means we are unable to process vehicle and driver’s license transactions. The ETA is undetermined.

Kansas is replacing some types of license plates that have aged out. These are embossed (raised plate text) plates on the standard Kansas Capitol (Dome) and the light blue Ad Astra backgrounds. If your plate qualifies, this means for you:

• A new plate with new and different plate text has been issued to your vehicle and a paper 30-Day Temporary plate is provided.

o The Division of Vehicles has come to an agreement with Kansas law enforcement that the paper plate does not have to be put on the vehicle for this license plate reissuance. The temporary paper plate should be folded with the registration and carried in the vehicle while waiting for the new metal plate.

• The registration receipt with the yellow 2025 decal must be applied to the upper right hand corner of the new metal plate when it arrives in the mail within 30 days of your transaction. The number on the decal should match the number on the plate.

• Put the new metal plate on your vehicle after applying the decal.

• Your old plate must be destroyed or securely disposed of after removal. Warning - fraudulent plate use can happen if the plate is simply tossed in the trash or not securely stored. Someone could take it, and use it illegally, causing problems for you.

If you have any questions, please contact the Brown County Treasurer's Office at (785) 742-2051.
