The Kansas Bureau of Investigation handles all criminal background checks for the state. They have a website where the general public can search for someone and see their records. You must sign up for the KanAccess account and pay a $20 fee. Most all the files are stored in their Criminal History Record Information (CHRI) system. Few may not be, but most are. Some of the information may be limited for the general public. You can also use other online portal systems to get a criminal background check on someone.
Many of the courts have computer terminals so the public can search for federal or district case documents by case number, person's name or a date range. You can also use the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system to find and review federal criminal court documents online. For local criminal proceedings, you can also visit the district court in person and request files. You may have to pay a fee and wait while your order is processed.
Both felonies and misdemeanors will stay on your Kansas record forever if you do not petition the court to expunge them. You must complete all the requirements of your sentencing along with paying any fees or fines and then wait three years (the preceding two you cannot have any new charges) before applying for expungement. Violent crimes are not eligible for expungement and will remain on your criminal record for life.
Just about anyone can look up your criminal background and see your entire history. Except for expunged records, everything will be on there. Landlords, schools, the military, adoption agencies, neighbors, co-workers, government agencies, gun dealers, licensing departments and the general public all have the legal right to check up on your criminal history.
Property owners sometimes use them to check out their tenants before renting. The general public uses them for many reasons like online dating, buying and selling online, checking out a neighbor or someone at work. Gun dealers also use them before selling firearms.
Kansas criminal records will show you basic demographic information like name, date of birth, address, phone number, physical description including any scars and tattoos, height, weight, gender, age, and race. It will also show warrants, charges, convictions, sentencing, sex offenses, DUIs, traffic violations, felonies, misdemeanors, incarcerations along with mug shots and fingerprints.
From the moment you are arrested and charged with a crime, paperwork is filled out and added to your file. After that, anything that occurs related to your case gets documented. These reports, forms, and documents become your criminal history and make up your background file. These are the things someone will see when they request a copy of your criminal history.
