Kansas Criminal History Record Check Welcome The state of Kansas allows the release of Kansas criminal history records to the general public as well as to a variety of users with specific rights and entitlements. These record checks are fee-based and both the fee and extent of information released is dependent on your status and the reason for which you are requesting records.

CHRI is the summary of arrests and prosecutions for criminal charges. Each state has a single central repository that is responsible for maintaining that state's CHRI. These central repositories also provide copies of portions of their records to the FBI for inclusion in the national criminal history record database.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) operates the Kansas Central Repository for CHRI. Kansas CHRI consists of summary information about:

  • Violations of Kansas law that are felonies or class A or class B misdemeanors. Class C misdemeanor assaults are also part of the CHRI. Juvenile offender data for the same violations of Kansas law is also included in the CHRI.
     
  • Violations of municipal ordinances or county resolutions that are equivalent to a class A or B misdemeanor or class C misdemeanor assault under state statute, when that violation results in a court conviction.
     
  • Disposition of the violations as reported by the prosecuting attorney.
     
  • Dispositions in Kansas municipal and district courts.
     
  • Incarcerations by Kansas Department of Corrections.

A substantial portion of the criminal history record database is fully automated and available for immediate release on this web site. When the record you seek if fully automated, the rap sheet will be displayed immediately so that you may read the contents and print it for your records.

However there are many records in the database that are only partially automated. If the record you are searching for is one of these partially automated records, the rap sheet won't be shown to you on this website. That is because the partially automated records are incomplete; there is information that is on file as paper records in the Central Repository that has not been data-entered into the criminal history database. Until that missing data is entered, the record can't be properly identified as the record being searched, and the content of partially automated records can't be released until the missing information is added to the database.

The following categories of persons and agencies have statutory access to Kansas CHRI:

  • The general public.
  • Criminal justice agencies. Law enforcement, prosecutors, courts and confinement facilities are entitled to CHRI for the administration of criminal justice.
  • Agencies with statutory entitlements may receive CHRI as defined in the Kansas statute enabling that access. The categories of CHRI that are released are defined in the entitling statute. One example of statutory entitlements is found in Kansas statute (K.S.A.) 38-2326, that permits release of both adult and juvenile CHRI to the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) for certain persons under SRS care.
  • Persons reviewing their own record are entitled to all adult and juvenile CHRI in their own files.
