Kansas drivers get Hunter Nation plate option

Beginning January 1, 2026, Kansas residents can get an optional Hunter Nation plate for each eligible vehicle they own or lease. Eligible vehicles are passenger vehicles or trucks registered for a gross weight of 20,000 pounds or less. Applicants must apply at least 60 days before registration renewal. They pay the regular registration fee plus a yearly logo fee of $25 to $100 per plate. Hunter Nation, Inc. sets the logo fee, which is paid to the county treasurer. Getting or renewing the plate requires consent to share personal and vehicle records with Hunter Nation, Inc. and the state treasurer. Shared details include name, address, fee amount, plate number, and vehicle type. Owners who do not pay the yearly fee must return the plate and follow regular registration rules. Plates cannot transfer to another person, but the vehicles director may transfer one from a leased vehicle to a purchased vehicle. Payments from the plate royalty fund go monthly to Hunter Nation Foundation, Inc.
