Korean Nationals who live in Kansas can now swap their drivers licenses for Kansas credentials, under a new agreement. Governor Laura Kelly announced the Reciprocal License Recognition Deal with South Korea to make Kansas the 21st state with such an arrangement. The agreement also allows Kansans who live in Korea to exchange their licenses. According to the governor, the new memorandum reduces administrative barriers. The governor indicated that Korea ranks among the state’s most important global partners, with strong ties in trade, investment and education. State officials say the license agreement will strengthen such bonds.
The director of the Korean National Agency says he hopes the agreement will further expand economic and cultural exchanges between the Republic of Korea and the State of Kansas, and create more opportunities for people from both sides, to connect with each other. Korean Nationals who want to exchange their licenses should contact their local Department of Revenue for specific requirements and procedures.
