KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson extended all driver's license and vehicle registration renewals March 21 amid a flurry of other measures enacted by the state.

Residents whose registration deadline for a new vehicle, license plates or driver's licenses were set to expire in March and April have been granted an automatic two-month extension.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly issued an executive order March 23, which provides for a similar extension of deadlines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Neither state will impose fines nor assess late fees during the extension window, which is necessary with many state offices closed and both states under statewide stay-at-home orders.

Temporary sixty-day permits for recently purchased have been extended.
