Minimum Coverage Requirements in Kansas

Kansas requires liability minimums of 25/50/25: $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. SR-22 filing is typically mandated for DUI convictions, driving without insurance, at-fault accidents while uninsured, license suspensions for accumulating points, and repeat moving violations. The filing requirement typically lasts 3 years from the date the Kansas Department of Revenue reinstates your driving privileges. When your SR-22 period ends, Kansas does not automatically notify you — you must verify the end date with the Kansas Department of Revenue and request proof of completion before shopping for new coverage.
