8-139. Lost license plates, certificate of title, registration decal
or registration receipts; fees for duplicates; exception.
In the event that any license plate, certificate of title, registration
decal or registration receipt issued hereunder, shall be lost,
mutilated, or shall have become illegible, the person who is entitled
thereto shall make immediate application for and obtain a duplicate or
substitute therefor, upon furnishing information of such fact
satisfactory to the division and upon payment of the required fees:
Namely, certificate of title, $10,
registration receipt,
$.50, registration decal,
$.50, license
plates, $2. In case the license
plate is of such type or constructed in such a way that it is not
reasonably possible to remove it from the vehicle to which it is
attached without destroying or mutilating such license plate, and
the ownership of such vehicle shall be transferred and the license plate
shall be mutilated or destroyed by the owner thereof as a
result of the owner's effort to comply with the
provisions of K.S.A. 8-135,
and amendments thereto, by removing the same from the vehicle so
transferred, then and in
such case no fee shall be charged for such duplicate or substitute
license plate, including any registration decal affixed thereto,
but the same shall be furnished free of charge providing such person
shall otherwise in all respects have complied with the laws governing
the transfer of ownership of such motor vehicle.
