Kansas Launches One-Stop License Reciprocity Website for Military Spouses and Veterans
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announced on November 10 the launch of the state's Military License Reciprocity (MLR) website, a one-stop shop for military spouses and veterans that streamlines transferring professional and occupational licenses when relocating to Kansas.
The website, MLR.ks.gov, links applicants to 34 licensing agencies. Under Kansas law, reciprocity decisions are expedited and must be made within 15 days of a completed application, and military spouses are exempt from occupational licensure fees, including application, renewal, and background check fees. Eligibility covers active-duty service members, including National Guard and Reserve members, honorably discharged veterans, and their spouses.
Governor Kelly said the launch reinforces the state's commitment to supporting military families, ensuring spouses can transition their licensed professions smoothly while uprooting their lives for a new assignment. Adjutant General Brig. Gen. Paul Schneider said the site will help remove unnecessary barriers for military spouses continuing their careers after a move to Kansas.
In addition to license reciprocity, the site links to the State of Kansas jobs board and the Kansas Department of Commerce's KANSAS WORKS resources. Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said Kansas is committed to welcoming these professionals and connecting them with meaningful employment as quickly as possible.
