  • In Kansas, criminal records are generally considered public information. You can access your arrest and prosecution history through various state resources. However, the information available may vary depending on the purpose of the background check. A standard criminal record check may not provide a comprehensive overview required for certain employment positions. For a more thorough background check, employers may seek additional information beyond what is available through public records. You can request criminal reports, including incidents and custody information, from county sheriffs or local police departments. For more details, you can visit the Kansas Bureau of Investigation's website at https://www.kansas.gov/kbi/.

  • Where can I find out if state police in Kansas provide arrest reports?
    In Kansas, arrest reports are typically obtained from the individual police departments that made the arrests, rather than from the state police. These reports are official documents created by the officers or agencies involved. While arrest reports and criminal background checks are both public records, they are governed by different policies and procedures. Each police department may have its own requirements for accessing arrest reports, so it is advisable to visit the specific department's website for detailed instructions and any necessary forms. Additionally, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) provides a service for requesting criminal history checks online. For more information, you can visit the KBI's official website at https://www.kansas.gov/kbi/.

  • In Kansas, a legal name change becomes a searchable public record once the court grants the petition. This record is maintained similarly to other court documents. It is important to note that name changes due to marriage are treated differently. Additionally, Kansas law requires that name changes be published in a local newspaper for a specified period, which serves to notify the public. For more detailed information on the process and requirements, you can refer to the Kansas Judicial Branch website.
