How can I get a personalized K-State plate?
Anyone who wants a personalized K-State plate can check this website for customized phrase availability: https://www.kdor.ks.gov/Apps/MotorVehicles. However, it is important to note that since a personalized plate cannot be purchased online, your search result does not guarantee the plate availability. You will need to visit your local Kansas county DMV/treasurer's office to actually purchase the new plate. 

Cost:

  • $45.50 for the physical plate, paid at first purchase and every year ending in 0 and 5.
  • One-time $40 special plate fee for the personalization selected.
  • $50 royalty fee, paid annually with registration (Note: if the plate is purchased separately from your renewal month, the $50 royalty fee will have to be paid twice in that one renewal year period).

When should I order my plate?
You may order a plate at any time. However, to avoid paying the annual donation twice in one year, the best time to purchase a plate is during your annual vehicle registration renewal process.

Who can purchase a plate?
Any Kansas resident with a car or truck registered in the state of Kansas may purchase a K-State plate. The vehicle weight limit is 20,000 pounds.
