Get
a Kansas Driver's License
If you are a Kansas resident who operates a motor vehicle
or motorcycle on public streets and highways in Kansas,
you must have a valid Kansas Driver's License. Driver's
licenses, instructional permits and Kansas identification
cards can be obtained at the Kansas
Division of Motor Vehicles Driver's License Exam Station:
SRS Building (enter through northeast door)
615 N Kansas Suite B
Liberal, KS 67901
620-626-8727
Open Tuesday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM
Register
Your Vehicle
If your car or truck is already registered in Kansas, all
you must do is register your change of address with the
County Treasurer's office. Any Kansas license tag is valid
anywhere in Kansas, so all the state needs to know is where
to send your reminder when the time comes to renew your
tag. Remember, you must show valid proof of insurance to
obtain a tag in Kansas.
If your car has never been registered in Kansas before,
there are a couple things you must do before you get your
tag.
First, the car must pass a Motor Vehicle Examination. The
inspection is to verify information of the owner and vehicle.
Inspections are performed at the Liberal Police Department,
Animal Control Division.
Appointments can be made through the Liberal Animal Shelter
from Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
by calling (620) 626-0576. The Shelter is located at 1985
North Country Estates Road, on North Highway 83 Bypass
next to Wilkens Manufacturing.
For your vehicle to be inspected, you will need to bring
the following with you:
- The original out-of-State title
for the vehicle;
- A valid driver's license; and
- Ten dollars cash ($10.00).
After the car is inspected, it must be appraised by the
County Appraiser's office, also located in the County Courthouse
at 415 N. Washington. The purpose of the appraisal is to
determine the amount of personal property tax you must
pay on the automobile. In Kansas, you are required to pay
taxes and tag fees at the same time.
While you are in the Courthouse, it would be a good idea
to pick up a mileage affidavit from the County Treasurer's
office. This short form must be filled out and notarized
before a tab can be issued. It simply states the odometer
reading on the car.
You must also have the title to your car before a tag can
be issued. If the title is in the possession of an out-of-state
lienholder, contact the County Treasurer's office, and
they will write for a copy.
Once you have title and mileage affidavit and the car has
been inspected and appraised, all you have left to do is
pay your personal property taxes and tag fees.
Register
to Vote
In addition to national and state elections that occur
once every four years, voters in Liberal and Seward County
often go to the polls for local elections and single-issue
ballots, such as votes on sales tax increases.
To register to vote, stop by Seward
County Clerk Stacia Long's office at 415 N. Washington
in the Seward County Courthouse. Or you may register to
vote at the Kansas Driver's License examination station,
the public library, and at social services agencies.
To register to vote, you are not required to present identification,
but the form itself is a legally binding document.
