How To Schedule Appointment Kansas DMV

Welcome to Kansas. Before you book any “DMV” appointment, you must know the most important rule: Kansas splits its services between two different offices.

1. State Driver’s License (DOV) Office: For your person (Driver’s License, Permit Test, REAL ID, State ID Card).
2. County Treasurer’s Office: For your car (Vehicle Registration, License Plates, Titles).

This guide will make sure you book the right appointment at the right office, with the right documents.

How to Schedule a DRIVER’S LICENSE Appointment

You must make an appointment for all driver’s license services at a State Driver’s License Office. Walk-ins are not accepted.

Use this process for:

• First-time Kansas Driver’s License or Learner’s Permit
• Transferring your Out-of-State License
• Getting your first REAL ID
• In-person License Renewal (if you can’t renew online)
• State ID Card

Step-by-Step Online Booking:

1. Visit the official KS Department of Revenue (DOV) appointment website: [https://www.ksrevenue.org/DOVAppointmentInfo/]
2. Click the “Schedule Here” button.
3. Select the service you need (e.g., “New License,” “Permit Test,” “Renew License”).
4. Choose your preferred office location.
5. Select an available date and time slot.
6. Enter your personal details (Name, Email, Phone Number) and confirm.
7. You will receive a confirmation email. Bring this with you to your appointment.

How to Schedule a VEHICLE REGISTRATION Appointment

You cannot use the state link for this. All vehicle registration, title work, and license plates are handled by your local County Treasurer’s Office.

Each county has its own system. There is no single state-wide link.

1. You must find your specific county’s website. Search Google for “[Your County Name] Kansas Treasurer.”
2. On your county’s site, look for a “Motor Vehicle” section.
3. Follow their instructions. Some counties require an appointment (like Johnson or Sedgwick County, which use a system called Q-Flow), while others may accept walk-ins.

Failure to do this will send you to the wrong office. A State Driver’s License office cannot register your car.

How to Renew Your License (Online vs. In-Person)

You have two options for renewal.

Option 1: Renew Online (The Easiest Way)

If you are eligible, you can skip the appointment and renew online in 5 minutes.

• Go to: The official iKan website: [https://ikan.ks.gov/]
• You can use iKan if: You are not getting your first REAL ID, your photo is on file, and your license is not a CDL.

Option 2: Renew In-Person (By Appointment)

You must book an in-person appointment (using the steps in Section 1) if:

• You are getting your first REAL ID.
• You need to take a new photo.
• Your name has changed.
• You are upgrading your license type.

What are The Required Documents for Your In-Person Appointment

When you go to your Driver’s License (DOV) appointment, you must bring documents to prove your identity. The best way to be prepared is to bring the full REAL ID checklist.

You will need one document from each category. All must be original (no photocopies).

1. Proof of Identity & Lawful Presence:
   • U.S. Passport or Passport Card
   • U.S. Birth Certificate
   • Permanent Resident Card (“Green Card”)
2. Proof of Social Security Number (SSN):
   • Social Security Card
   • W-2 or 1099 Form (must show full SSN)
3. Proof of Kansas Residency (2 Documents):
   • You must bring TWO recent (within 60 days) documents with your name and KS address.
   • Examples: Utility bill (gas, electric), lease/rental agreement, bank statement, or paystub.
4. Proof of Name Change (if applicable):
   • If your name is different from your birth certificate (e.g., due to marriage), you must bring the legal document linking the names, such as a certified Marriage Certificate or a court-ordered name change.
