Kansas public records are governed by the Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215 et seq.), which makes the records of every public agency open for inspection except for the categories listed in K.S.A. 45-221. County registers of deeds, appraisers, and clerks hold property, deed, and election records; the Kansas Bureau of Investigation maintains statewide criminal history; and the Kansas District Court Public Access Portal exposes case dockets.
