They must also include the proof of retirement given by the retiring agency. Photocopy of retirement credential that shows the retirement date and the signature of the chief administrator can serve as a proof.

He will photocopy your Kansas driver’s license or any identification card, have your fingerprints on and submit all your documents to the attorney general.
Notes:
• If you answer “no” to all the first four questions, and answer “yes” to the remaining questions in Section II, your application may likely be denied. For the successful release of license, answer each question honestly. If in case you answered “no” to questions 1 to 4 and “yes” to numbers 5 up to 16, make a complete explanation of the reasons on a separate paper and attach this to the documents that you will submit.
• Those who want to apply for licenses but have history of expunged felony offenses or other crimes are also encouraged to apply. But, these conditions should be met first to be qualified:
o The offense is already erased from the applicant’s record
o Expungement of the applicant’s felony was awarded 5 years prior to the date of application
When completing the application form, make sure that these will all be disclosed in the Section II. The attorney general cannot access records for expunged records. If the applicant fails to meet these criteria, the application for a license will not be accepted.
Consulting a private lawyer can help you in analyzing your case and find out if you are eligible to submit an application. Legal counsel cannot be provided by the attorney general.
The attorney general should approve or deny an individual’s application within 90 days. If approved, the attorney general will the send the “license approval notice” to the applicant stating his approval to obtain a license and instructions on how to proceed. The applicant must go to any participating Kansas Department of Revenue driver’s license station to have himself photographed for his license card. The CCH license card will be sent to the address of the licensee.
All payments made cannot be refunded.
Major changes to the statute includes the following:
a. Kansas residents who move to other states are given the allowance to have their license valid for the next 90 days after they move in. For this to be possible, the resident must inform the attorney general regarding their relocation. The state to which they are moving into must also agree to recognize the individual’s license even though he is not a resident of Kansas anymore. After the allowance of 90 days, the individual should be responsible of obtaining a new license or taking the necessary steps to be allowed to carry guns.
b. If a resident decides to return to Kansas may use their CCH license with no penalty. For this to happen, he must also inform the attorney general about the date of relocation and the date of return. If he fails to provide the notice, he will be charged with a penalty of $100 fine or license suspension for up to 180 days.
