KANSAS CITY - On Monday, the Kansas Department of Revenue announced blackout-style license plates will soon be coming to Kansas vehicles.
Beginning July 1, this new plate design will be available to Kansas drivers to purchase from their local county treasurer's office. The blackout plate is designed with an all-black background and sharp white lettering. KDOR says the introduction of this plate design is in response to the increasing interest from Kansans in having a blackout-style plate option for their vehicles.
In a statement; Kansas Division of Vehicles Director Deann Williams said, “The blackout plate design has proven to be very popular in surrounding states, and we’ve had many Kansans ask for it to come to Kansas. We’ve heard them loud and clear, and we are very excited to bring this highly requested plate design to Kansas vehicles this year.”
Blackout plates will be available for standard passenger vehicles and motorcycles. The cost will include a $40 one-time plate fee and an annual royalty fee of $50. Personalization of the blackout plate will run an additional $45.50.
