Commercial Motor Vehicle Registration Approaches

02/18/2014

(KNZA)--Time is running out on a two month grace period for heavy trucks and trailers to renew their registration in the new Commercial Motor Vehicle system.

On Jan. 1st, the state switched to a new registration system for commercial motor vehicles and the current grace period is through Feb. 28th for registrations that expired Dec. 31, 2013.

Farm vehicle registration is not affected by registrations.

Since Jan. 1, more than 42,000 commercial motor vehicles have been successfully registered at the 72 county and state offices offering the service. Starting March 1st commercial motor vehicles with expired tags could be ticketed by law enforcement.

Motor carriers operating solely in Kansas as an intrastate motor carrier will receive a new license plate. The new white and purple plate marked “Commercial” will provide an easy reference for law enforcement. Kansas-based motor carriers that drive in Kansas and other states and currently have an apportioned tag will continue to receive the license plate that is white with red marked “Apportioned.”
