Thank you for asking Alfred.
If you have a valid driver’s license issued to you in the state of Nebraska it should be valid for you to use in Kansas and be able to operate a vehicle in KS.
The KS Highway Patrol states that the state of Kansas generally recognizes non-resident drivers’ licenses issued by other states and countries. State law specifies that non-resident drivers must be at least 16 years old. This means that, your 15-year-old cannot operate a motor vehicle in Kansas.
New Kansas residents are required to obtain a Kansas driver’s license and vehicle registration within 90 days of establishing residency . If you have a valid out of state license and have moved to Kansas to get a KS driver’s license you must:
* Present acceptable proof of identity
* Not be canceled, suspended or revoked in any state
* Pass a vision examination
* Pay applicable fees
You may contact the Kansas Motor Vehicles division of their Department of Revenue can give you more information on driving in KS with an out of state driver’s license.
Goodluck!
