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.

02

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.

Do not enter a case number, birth date, or other private information on this independent guide. Searches and requests should be completed on the official court systems linked below.

FAQ

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.
