• Does my state offer online registration renewal so I can update my tabs?

  • Registration > Registration Renewal

  Online Registration Renewal The majority of states now offer online registration renewal. It's a convenient option for updating tabs and license plates.

  KS Smog and Emissions Testing Requirements Many states make passing a smog check as part of the vehicle registration process, but no such mandate exists in Kansas. Only a few select communities offer emissions testing, but purely on a voluntary basis. In Wichita, for example, the city, as part of its Air Quality Awareness Program, provides emissions testing several times a year, allowing motorists to voluntarily have their vehicles checked for tailpipe emissions and fuel cap gas leaks.
