Kansas License Plates

As noted in the news section of this site, the scheduled replacement of plates in Kansas has been temporarily set aside for economic reasons, so many motorists with the previous base have been issued new stickers to extend their usage indefinitely.

Until 2009, Kansas has allowed vanities to be duplicated between counties. Since Kansas has 105 counties, it has been possible for 105 different people to have any given vanity plate. The reason this could be done is that the two-letter county designation sticker on the plate is actually part of the registration, so a person who lives in Shawnee County who has "BOB" on his plate would actually have SN BOB on his registration, yet his plate would look identical to the "BOB" plates in any other county except for the small SN county sticker. Starting in 2010, Kansas will no longer allow these duplications. Only one vanity plate with any given combination will be allowed in the whole state. In every case where duplications already exist, the person who had that combination the longest will be allowed to keep it.
