What to do with Kansas plates after moving to Oregon

Complete the replacement record

Apply for Oregon title and registration within 30 days after becoming a resident. Oregon requires its title before it will issue the registration.

Maintain coverage that satisfies Oregon financial-responsibility law and make the required compliance statement on the title and registration application.

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.
