Start with the type of information you need
Use Kansas CaseSearch when you need a public case listing, case number, party name, event, or available docket information. Use the local Records Department when you need to inspect an available court file or request a copy of a document.
Search results can be incomplete for lawful reasons. Adoption, child-in-need-of-care, juvenile, sealed, expunged, and other protected matters may be restricted or absent.
Viewing or requesting documents
The 18th Judicial District says a public access terminal is available through its Records Department. For copies, follow the court's written request instructions and identify the correct case number before submitting the request.
- Confirm the case number and the names used in the case.
- Describe the specific document or date range you need.
- Use a separate request form for each case when the court requires it.
- Ask the Records Department to confirm current copy fees and turnaround time.
If you cannot find a case
Check spelling, alternate names, and whether the matter belongs to District Court, Wichita Municipal Court, another municipal court, or federal court. An online miss does not prove that a case does not exist.

Common questions
Does this website store court records?
No. This guide does not host court records, receive record requests, or collect case-search terms.
Can I see every document online?
No. Kansas CaseSearch is a public case-information index, not a complete online copy of every court file.
Why is a case missing?
The case may be protected, sealed, filed in another court, entered under a different name, or not available through public online access.
Are courthouse records automatically certified?
No. If you need a certified copy, ask the Records Department about the current certification and payment process.
