(KAIR)--The replacement for all standard, Kansas embossed license plates is underway, meaning customers of the Atchison County Treasurer are being urged "to allow plenty of time for motor vehicle transactions."

That word is delivered in a release from the County Treasurer's Office, which says that "all renewals for standard embossed plates automatically update and a new plate is issued." However, "each transaction with replacement plates is taking longer than usual," meaning "there may be a wait to complete your transaction.”

The release informs customers that they may assist the office by having the vehicle renewal notice and insurance for all vehicles available and ready at the time of transaction.

According to Atchison County Treasurer Connie Ellerman, the plates being issued are the current Ad Astra license plates. She says it's not known when the new Kansas plate design, as decided by the public, will become available.

Any questions can be addressed to the County Treasurer's Office, at 913-804-6050.
