The State of Kansas launches a new website designed to make it easier for military spouses and veterans to transfer professional licenses when moving to the state.
Governor Laura Kelly announced the Military License Reciprocity website, which connects applicants with 34 Kansas licensing agencies in one location.
State law requires an expedited decision on a completed license reciprocity application within 15 days. Military spouses are also exempt from Kansas occupational licensing fees, including application, renewal and background-check fees. The expedited process is available to active-duty service members, including National Guard and Reservists, honorably discharged veterans, and their spouses.
The new website also provides links to Kansas job opportunities and the Kansas Works employment website. State officials say the goal is to remove barriers for military families relocating to Kansas and help them continue their careers and connect with jobs more quickly.
