plate

The current Kansas standard license plate, introduced in 2024 to replace older, deteriorated embossed plates, features a bright, modern design. It has a yellow, white, and blue gradient background with the Kansas Statehouse dome inside a state cutout, using a 7-character serialized format (\(1234ABC\)) in black text, with "To the Stars" written at the bottom.

Key Design Features (As of 2024-2026):

Design/Color: The plate features a wheat-yellow to white-blue gradient.

Graphics: A dark gray outline of the state of Kansas containing the statehouse dome is located in the bottom left corner.

Text & Motto: The text is black/midnight blue, with "To the Stars" (a reference to the state motto "Ad Astra per Aspera") printed at the bottom.

Serial Format: The plate uses a 7-character serial format (1234ABC) to allow for more combinations.

Background Information:

Replacement Phase: The Kansas Department of Revenue began replacing all older embossed plates in January 2024 due to safety concerns, as they lose 50% reflectivity after five years.

Replacement Process: When you renew your registration, you will receive a temporary tag, and the new, permanent "To the Stars" plate will be mailed to you within 30 days.

Plate Life: The new, flat-design plates are designed to be better for law enforcement to read at night.
