Kansas Public Records at a Glance
Kansas courts finished a long migration onto a single platform, and the statewide district court search now covers all 105 counties — our Kansas court records page explains the free public portal and what moved online. The KBI runs a public name-based criminal history search; convictions and pending cases are returnable, arrests without conviction largely are not. Birth and death certificates come from the Office of Vital Statistics in Topeka, and Kansas is on the restrictive side about who may order them. Registers of deeds in each county hold the land records, and many counties share a common online index. The 191 sources below are all official.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are public records organized in Kansas?▼
Kansas keeps public records at three levels: federal (FBI, federal courts via PACER), state (court of last resort, state police, department of health, secretary of state), and county-level (sheriffs, clerks, recorders, assessors). Each county maintains its own court, criminal-justice, property, and vital-records offices linked from the county pages below.
Where do I start a Kansas court-case search?▼
For statewide trial-court information, start at the Kansas Judicial Branch: kscourts.gov. Kansas federal cases are searched through PACER. For local case dockets, see the Court Records tab and the county page for your area.
How do I get an official Kansas background check?▼
Kansas's official statewide criminal-history check is run by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) at www.kansas.gov. Most state-level checks require fingerprints and a fee. A nationwide FBI Identity History Summary is available separately.
Where do I obtain Kansas birth, death, or marriage certificates?▼
Certified Kansas vital records are issued by the Official Kansas Vital Records at www.kdhe.ks.gov. Recent local events (births, deaths, marriages) can often also be requested from the county clerk or local registrar where the event was filed.
What does it cost to access Kansas public records?▼
Most online record indexes in Kansas are free to search; fees apply for certified copies, fingerprint background checks, full document images at the recorder, and statewide bulk data. Each agency publishes its current fee schedule — for example the Kansas Judicial Branch (courts), the Official Kansas Vital Records (vital records), the Official Kansas Voter Records (elections), and the Official Kansas Professional & Occupational Licenses (licenses).
