Some frequently asked questions:
How do I change my driver's license and vehicle registration if I moved here from another State?
Our office cannot change your driver's license, you must go to a full service drivers license station. The closest to our county are Salina (785)-825-0321 and Great Bend (620)-793-9531. Please call them for information. Our office can change your vehicle registration for you. You will need to have your out of state title and call our Sheriff's Office to have a VIN inspection done on the vehicle. They will run the VIN and verify that the vehicle is not stolen. This inspection will cost $20. You can reach the Sheriff's Office at (785)-472-4416 to set up an appointment. Once your inspection is done, you will bring your out of state title, the pink copy of the VIN inspection and your current proof of insurance that shows the year and make of the vehicle and the VIN number. The card must be effective wneh you come in and show an expiration date. If you do not have your actual paper title due to a lienholder, bring your current out of state registration and proof of insurance into our office and we can do a courtesy registration for you.
Do you accept payment over the phone?
Sorry, we do not
Is there a grace period for renewing my drivers license and car tags?
No
Will I be charged additional sales tax even if I paid sales tax to the car dealership?
If the dealer is located in an area that has a lower sales tax rate than where you live, you will pay additional sales tax when you register your vehicle. For example, you buy a car in the City of Wichita. Wichita does not have a city sales tax, they will charge you the rate for Sedgwick County, which is 7.5%. Someone living in the City of Ellsworth would pay the difference in sales tax when they register the vehicle. Ellsworth City is 8.75%. On a $25,000 vehicle, the difference paid in our office would be $312.50 on top of the normal title, registration and property tax fees paid at that time.
Can I bring my plate in for a refund if it brakes down or if I just decide to park it?
No. In order to refund a plate you must dispose of the vehicle, signing the title over to another party. Once you refund a plate it cannot be undone. If you didn't actually dispose of the vehicle and want to tag it again later, you have to bring the title in and pay back to the day of the tag refund with penalties.
Can I make payments to your office for my property taxes?
Sorry, we are not set up for escrow.
I'm out of the State and/or Country and my license is due for renewal or lost. What can I do?
