A Kansas driver's license replacement (also called a duplicate license) gives you a new copy of your license with the same information and expiration date as your current one. The Kansas replacement fee in 2026 is $14. Note: if your license is also close to expiring, it may make more sense to renew instead of just replacing it.

How to Replace Your Kansas Driver's License: Step-by-Step

Report theft if applicable

If your Kansas license was stolen, consider filing a police report — especially if you are concerned about identity theft. A report can also help if the license is used fraudulently.

Check online replacement eligibility

Many Kansas drivers can order a duplicate license online through Kansas DOR if their name and address haven't changed. Check your eligibility before visiting an office.

Verify your identity

You will need to confirm your identity — typically your license number, date of birth, and last four digits of your Social Security number. This is done securely on the official Kansas DOR website only.

Pay the Kansas replacement fee

The Kansas driver's license replacement fee is $14. Pay directly on the official Kansas DOR site or at a Kansas DOR office. Never pay on unofficial websites.

Receive your replacement license

Your duplicate Kansas license arrives by mail, typically within 7–14 days. You may receive a temporary paper document immediately. Your replacement has the same expiration date as your original.
