Do I Need an Inspection To Renew My Tags in Kansas?

No, Kansas does not mandate safety inspections or emissions testing for registration renewal. Vehicle owners may renew their annual registration without presenting any inspection certificate or emissions test results. Registration renewals are processed upon the owner's application and payment of the required fees.

Kansas uses registration decals that must be affixed to the rear license plate. Under Kansas Statutes 8-134, the decal contains county designation letters, the license plate number, and the registration expiration year. The decal is designed to be tamper-resistant and reflects light for visibility.
