Problems With Vehicle Registrations Resolved
Associated Press - Wed 11:25 AM 05/23/2012
Agency is working with its computer vendor to get the system working
Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan says problems with a new computer system that delayed Kansas vehicle and title registrations have been resolved.
Kansas is implementing a new system that will merge vehicle registrations and titles and eventually link to driver's license records. Jordan says the issues that caused the system to bog down Monday and Tuesday were related to routine maintenance performed Sunday night.
The Division of Vehicles worked with 3M to fix the problems and restore service. 3M is the vendor supplying the new $40 million system.
Problems with the system caused delays and led to long lines and the closing of vehicle registration stations.
Officials are urging residents to register their vehicles online to avoid delays. They've also extended expiration dates for registrations with April and May deadlines.

Although this article and the one yesterday, state that the deadlines have been extended through June, the employees at the Saline County office will tell you that it only applies to the larger counties in the state. I don't believe either of the articles mentioned that fact and my husband was told that anyone not paying by the end of the month would receive tickets if caught. What gives???

Be happy that beautiful KS doesn't require vehicle ispections. The military has me stationed in VA which requires them. I know that they are designed to only allow safe vehicles on the road but it really only adds a tax and more paperwork. I love Kansas and can't wait to get back there.
