Obtaining Kansas Criminal Records
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) is responsible for the database of Kansas criminal records. KBI offers an online database that allows you to perform name-based Kansas background checks. Individuals who need certified records must be fingerprinted at their local law enforcement agency on the approved fingerprint card and then mail this card and a request form to KBI with a $35 certified check or money order. A name-based search costs $20.
The Right to Access Kansas Criminal Records
Kansas provides the general public access to limited criminal records, meaning only public criminal records will be included. The exception is an individual requesting his or her own entire Kansas criminal record for review.
Challenging Discrepancies on a Criminal Record
If you detect a mistake in your criminal record, you must write a letter to the KBI and explain the mistake you found and include any documentation to support your claim, and KBI will review it.
