Do I need to return my Kansas license plates after moving?

Checked Jul 31, 2026
Use the Kansas plate return to close the record and claim any refund

After the destination registration is active, take the Kansas plate and registration receipt to the county treasurer's motor-vehicle office in the county where the vehicle was registered. Moving out of state qualifies for a registration and property-tax refund; Kansas calculates it from the date the office receives the plate, so retain the office receipt and refund submission record.
