Yes, if you have a valid driver's license issued to you in the state of Nebraska it should be valid for you to use in Kansas and be able to operate a vehicle in KS.
The KS Highway Patrol states that the state of Kansas generally recognizes non-resident drivers' licenses issued by other states and countries. However, state law specifies that non-resident drivers must be at least 16 years old. Due to this clause, your 15-year-old cannot operate a motor vehicle in Kansas.
If you have recently moved to Kansas from Nebraska you will need to obtain a NE driver's license.
New Kansas residents are required to obtain a Kansas driver's license and vehicle registration within 90 days of establishing residency (e.g. starting a job in Kansas, buying or leasing property, enrolling children in school, registering to vote, etc.).
If you have a valid out of state license and have moved to Kansas to get a KS driver's license you must:
- Present acceptable proof of identity
- Not be canceled, suspended or revoked in any state
- Pass a vision examination
- Pay applicable fees
The Kansas Motor Vehicles division of their Department of Revenue can give you more information on driving in KS with an out of state driver's license.
