Kansas

When moving from Alabama to Kansas, you must register your vehicle within 90 days of establishing residency. You must also transfer your driver's license within 90 days. Plan to visit the Kansas DMV promptly after your move.

Registering your vehicle in Kansas costs $39-$54 + property tax. Title transfer fee is $11 (title transfer is required). Vehicle sales/use tax is 7.5% (state + local). Budget for these costs before your move.

Kansas requires emissions testing: Johnson and Wyandotte counties. No recurring safety inspection is required. Check if your specific county requires testing.

Kansas requires minimum liability insurance of 25/50/25 (bodily injury per person / per accident / property damage, in thousands). Your current Alabama minimums are 25/50/25. You must update your insurance to meet Kansas requirements before registering.

Kansas requires rear only plates (Alabama requires rear only). Surrender out-of-state plates; new KS plates issued. You will need to surrender your Alabama plates and obtain new Kansas plates.
