Non-military individuals who have established or intend to establish residency in this state must hold a current valid license in another jurisdiction and the license must have been in active status for at least two years immediately preceding application.

Effective July 1, 2025, pursuant to 2025 HB 2280, all fees related to original licensure and license renewal are waived for individuals who are the spouse of a military service member or spouse of a former member with an honorable discharge who resides or plans to reside in Kansas. This includes application, background check, original licensure, renewal and renewal late fees. The applicant or licensee is responsible for indicating eligibility for the exemption each time an application form is completed and could be subject to discipline if eligibility is misrepresented pursuant to K.S.A. 58-3062(f)(1).
