5. If you chose to pay by credit card make sure the credit card number and the expiration date is legible.
6. Include the Origin and Destination of your trip. All origins and destinations in Kansas shall be as accurate as possible.

8. To save time and make the approval process easier, contact the appropriate district officials ahead of time to make sure the route you intend to use is appropriate. It may become necessary to obtain approval to route around construction areas. The district officials may limit the amount of miles a mover may transport loads on state highways. This means, additional county or city roadways may be needed.
9. Route restrictions now allow for the use of the Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) in certain circumstances. This means movers shall contact the KTA to obtain permission to use the KTA. Central Permit permission only applies to the use of the KTA. The KTA does not have jurisdiction over other routes in Kansas. Use the space available on the "Large Structure Route Sheet" to record your route.
10. Under the “ORDER” column please indicate the order of travel by inserting a 1, 2, 3, etc. If only one district is traveled, insert a "1" beside the district you plan to travel.
11. The appropriate district official will examine the application and approve the worksheet if everything on the form is acceptable. The approved application will be returned to the applicant by fax to the number shown on the form. To reduce the time it takes to approve the move(s), telephone the appropriate district offices ahead of time to make sure someone is in the office to approve your application.
12. When you have received all the applicable signatures, fax the completed worksheet (with signatures) to Central Permits at 785-296-6558. If all the signatures are correct, a permit will be issued to the customer shown on the face of the application.
