(MSC News)--Through upgrades made to iKan, described in a release as Kansas' "award winning digital government platform," will mean fewer trips to the DMV for licensed Kansas drivers.

The release, from the Kansas Department of Revenue, explains that along with the upgrades bringing "an improved resident profile interface," the technology will also allow state residents to update their vehicle's address, through use of the online platform, up to 90 days before the renewal date. The release notes that the process previously required residents to take a trip to the DMV.

First introduced in 2018, iKan encompasses services from numerous agencies in a consolidated experience for Kansas residents. Through iKan, residents can renew driver- and CDL licenses, ID cards, and vehicle registrations; order birth, death, and marriage certificates, request address changes for licenses and vehicles, and purchase annual park passes. The platform is available on web or mobile browsers and with a native mobile application.

Residents are encouraged to create an iKan account, which speeds the renewal process and offers a view of past, current, and upcoming transactions. A guest payment option is also available.

Since its launch, nearly 1 in 2 Kansas residents have registered with iKan, and the platform has processed over 4.5 million transactions, representing nearly $1 billion in revenue collected for the State.
