New ‘To the Stars’ Kansas license plate now available

TOPEKA, Kan. ( KSNT ) – The Kansas Department of Revenue (KDOR) says a new standard license plate for the Sunflower State is available.

The new “To the Stars” license plate design, chosen through a public vote late last year , replaces the “Ad Astra” standard license plate design.

The new design features the Kansas Statehouse Dome within a cutout of the state against a blue, white and yellow background. It will be used for all new plate issuances and replacements for any remaining embossed plates in Kansas.

Those issued a plate with the “Ad Astra” design to replace their embossed plate will not be reissued another plate with the new design. The KDOR said any Kansan with the “Ad Astra” design but wants the “To the Stars” design can visit the local county treasurer’s office to transfer their registration to a plate with the new design.

Kansans rejected an earlier license plate choice unveiled in 2023, prompting Governor Laura Kelly to stop the design, which some claimed displayed ‘Mizzou’ colors . More information on the new plates can be found online by clicking here .
