Kansas boasts a very thorough archive of birth records and other public data. But knowing that this information exists and retrieving it can be entirely different stories.

For those searching for Kansas birth records, the first thing you should know is that in Kansas, birth records and other vital statistics are maintained by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's Office of Vital Statistics.

Kansas birth records were first truly collected starting in July 1911. Some records exist prior to this date, but many of them were collected after the fact. In Kansas, only those who are related or have a legal interest in birth records are allowed access. This means that for those who need to retrieve copies of birth certificates, there are several options available.

While the state accepts requests in person, through the mail, and over the phone, one of the quickest ways to get the information that you're seeking for is to use a public records locater to get exactly what you need in far less time.
