The Kansas Department of Revenue will start to reopen driver’s license offices across the state on Tuesday, May 12th.
The offices will be open by appointment only and people will be screened before entering the offices. Social distancing guidelines will be followed.
Only essential services will be conducted in the reopened offices. That will include:
- Drivers needing to transfer a license from another state
- Teen drivers receiving a license for the first time
- Drivers turning 21 or turning 50 years-of-age
- Applications for a new state identification card
- If there is no online access to the customer or other restriction to online service apply by statute, including not having an eye exam within the last 12 months
Governor Kelly’s executive order allowing extensions on driver’s license renewals and vehicle registrations is still in effect. Customers who need the services listed above are encouraged to go online as state officials look at the reopening of the more than 100 office locations.
The Sedgwick County driver’s license office in Wichita at the Twin Lakes shopping center will be among the offices reopening, but only for commercial driver’s license services, and appointments can be made by calling 785-940-1353.
