The State of Kansas has partnered up with technology firm PayIt to unveil an innovative new vehicle registration app that is designed to make it easier than ever for car owners in the state to go about taking care of their vehicle registration needs on their smartphones instead of having to line up at a physical office.
The iKan app lets users receive status updates about their registration, and renew their registrations. The app also lets Kansas residents maintain and access their official documents on their smartphone or computer.
Future steps for the iKan vehicle registration app include the ability to carry out voter registration and access other citizen records, making this a great example of a civic service app that targets one sector but has the potential and the infrastructure to be expanded to other uses.
