Kansas

When moving from Iowa 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 Iowa minimums are 20/40/15. You must update your insurance to meet Kansas requirements before registering.

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