Is the DMV open today in Kansas?
In Kansas, driver licensing is handled by the Kansas Department of Revenue, Division of Vehicles (driver's license offices). Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
Kansas does not close for Presidents Day or Columbus Day, but it does close on Christmas Eve and the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Some driver's license offices keep short weeks or limited services, so check the office you plan to visit.
