New $5 fee for auto registration to begin for Wyandotte County residents in 2015

More information:

Effective January 1, 2015, a $5.00 service fee will be added to all automobile registration renewals processed at the Wyandotte County Courthouse and the Wyandotte County Annex.

This fee is being added to improve customer service at both motor vehicle offices by encouraging citizens to handle their renewals by mail at no additional cost or on the Unified Government website for the fees charged by the processing company.

The $3.00 fee for new title work will no longer be charged at the County Annex, 8200 State Ave. office.
