Birth Records in Kansas

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment�s Office of Vital Statistics maintains birth records for births that occurred since July 1, 1991. In addition, some �delayed certificates of birth� are maintained for births that occurred before that time period if these individuals were alive after 1940 and applied for a delayed birth certificate.

If you are an authorized individual, you may request a certified copy of a birth certificate or a delayed birth certificate from the Office of Vital Statistics in six different ways:

US Mail, Priority Mail, telephone, fax, internet, and walk-in

To be eligible you must either be named on the record or an immediate family member. Additionally if you can provide legal proof that the birth record is necessary for determining personal or property rights you may request a copy. If you are a legal guardian, please provide copy of guardianship papers.

You will also need to provide proper ID to establish your identity. Currently accepted forms include a current government-issued photo ID, a passport or visa, or a military ID. If you can�t provide these, alternative paperwork can be used to establish your identity. Two of the following can be provided:
� Social security number
� Bank statement showing current address
� Car registration or title showing current address
� Utility bill showing current address
� Pay stub showing your name, social security number, and the name and address of the employer

Fees:

Each record costs $12 for the first copy and $7 for each additional copy. If no record is found, the $12 is kept as a search fee. Payment can be made by check or money order made payable to �Kansas Vital Statistics�. Credit cards are accepted by phone, fax, internet or in person.

To request a birth record by mail:
