The process for securing a license in your non-resident state requires applying for and receiving Certification of Good Standing from your home state, passing the state portion of the exam for the applicable state, completing the state's Practice Course (30 hours in KS, 24 hours in MO), submitting a license application and paying a fee. Kansas and Missouri applicants must also submit a fingerprint card for the state in which they are applying to get their license.
