Kansas Open Records Act 
Information Request Guidelines

To request a record from Sedgwick County, follow these easy steps:

The Kansas Open Records Act (KSA 45-215 et seq.) guarantees citizens the right to obtain copies of public records that are not exempt from disclosure by specific provisions of law.  Citizens have a right to obtain a copy of any County agency's procedures for access to records, and to request assistance from the County Freedom of Information Officer.  An agency may require that requests be submitted in writing; this form is provided for convenience, but is not required.  If a request is denied, the agency must provide specific reasons for denial, and the requester has a right to receive such response in writing.  Your request will be filled within three business days of the date of the request.  If your request is denied or delayed, you will receive a written explanation for the delay or denial. 

You may also contact Sedgwick County’s Freedom of Information Officer directly to determine if the information you need is available.  Remember to be as specific as possible when requesting information.
