Kansas State Parks Passport

Kansas motor vehicle owners can buy an annual park vehicle permit as part of their vehicle registration process. The permit – called a Kansas State Parks Passport – costs $15.50.

This lower-price, non-transferable permit will be available only during the vehicle registration process at a motor vehicle registration office or when registering by mail.

Owners must request to purchase the permit; offering is not automatic. The Kansas State Parks Passport will expire when the vehicle registration expires a year later.
