The driver’s license renewal deadline in Kansas has been extended to June 30.
Gov. Laura Kelly issued an executive order that extends the deadline for renewal for Kansans ages 21 to 64, allowing them to renew online. The age restriction is 21 to 54 years old by law.
Gov. Kelly encouraged residents to take advantage of the online registration, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
“I encourage all Kansans eligible to take advantage of the opportunity for online license renewal to protect themselves and their communities from the spread of the virus,” Gov. Kelly said in a news release.
The service fees for renewing online also are being waived, according to state officials. The fees are used to keep the online renewal system operating, but are being covered by COVID-19 funding at the present time, encouraging residents to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
“By waiving the service fees, we hope Kansas drivers see this as an opportunity to experience a safe alternative to visiting our offices in person,” Kansas Department of Revenue Secretary Mark Burghart said in a news release. “This helps our customers not see delays in service and our staff to continue regular operations in a health-conscious manner.”
The iKan program can be used by downloading the app from Apple App or Google Play stores on mobile devices or by visiting iKan.ks.gov. Even with the temporary removal of some restrictions, by statute, other restrictions apply, according to officials.
