The Kansas Department of Revenue is modernizing the driver’s license services statewide in the coming weeks and months. According to the Director Vehicles, David Harper, beginning October 23rd, Kansas drivers between the ages of 21 and 50 who have had a vision exam in the last year will have the option to skip the office and renew their license using the iKan mobile application. Driver’s license renewal services will join other iKan features like vehicle registration renewal and vital statistics requests to increase access to government services. The app is available for iOS and Android download or at https://ikan.ks.gov/

The option to use iKan for mobile credential renewals comes in conjunction with the launch of the Kanlicense system, a new interface used by driver’s license examiners to input data, records and issue credentials. The new system will speed processing time, reducing office waits and time at the counter for customers. it will also reduce the length of time it takes to train new examiners.

State-operated driver’s license offices around Kansas are being updated with fresh paint, furniture, and new security measures.

Finally, they are changing the hours of operation for most driver’s license offices statewide to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with the option to expand to Saturday hours during peak times like Spring Break. The new schedule will provide an additional day of service during the week. The change in hours begin October 29th.
