Problems with Kan. vehicle registrations resolved

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan says problems with a new computer system that delayed Kansas vehicle and title registrations have been resolved.

Kansas is implementing a new system that will merge vehicle registrations and titles and eventually link to driver's license records. Jordan says the issues that caused the system to bog down Monday and Tuesday were related to routine maintenance performed Sunday night.

The Division of Vehicles worked with 3M to fix the problems and restore service. 3M is the vendor supplying the new $40 million system.

Problems with the system caused delays and led to long lines and the closing of vehicle registration stations.

Officials are urging residents to register their vehicles online to avoid delays. They've also extended expiration dates for registrations with April and May deadlines.
