Which Sedgwick County record answers your question?

SHERIFF INMATE SEARCH Is the person in custody?

Review current confinement, Name ID, charges, warrant codes, case numbers and available release information.

Best first step after a recent booking.
ARRESTING AGENCY What did officers report?

Request the incident or arrest report from the Sheriff, Wichita Police or another agency that created it.

The jail does not own every investigative record.
DISTRICT COURT What state charge was filed?

Search felony, misdemeanor and state traffic cases in the Eighteenth Judicial District.

Use the disposition to determine the outcome.
MUNICIPAL COURT Is it a Wichita city case?

Search Wichita ordinance, municipal traffic, city warrant and related court information separately.

Municipal cases do not always appear as District Court cases.

Kansas statewide history

Use a KBI check when county records are not enough

The Sedgwick County Sheriff does not provide general criminal-history background checks to the public. Use the Kansas Bureau of Investigation for a statewide history.

KBI online criminal history

  • Searches Kansas criminal-history information.
  • Current standard charge: $30.
  • A substantial portion of the database is available immediately.
  • Some records require additional processing.
  • Name-based searches require careful identity verification.

District Court verification

  • Use the KBI case number to locate the court record.
  • Read the disposition for each count.
  • Obtain a certified dismissal or judgment when needed.
  • Resolve missing outcomes through the court.
  • Challenge source errors before disputing downstream reports.
Open the official Kansas criminal-history service Use the KBI portal rather than a private people-search website. Open KBI Criminal History Search
Enter accurate legal identity information Add all required identifiers and review spelling carefully.
Review the $30 charge Confirm the total before submitting the search.
Save or print the report Preserve the transaction and search result.
Match every event to a court record Use the Kansas court portal or Sedgwick County Records Department.
Do not interpret “no record” too broadly Restricted, expunged, juvenile, federal and out-of-state information may not appear in an ordinary Kansas search.
Record correction

Correct a wrong jail, police, court or KBI entry

Identify which system is inaccurate Compare the inmate search, arrest report, District Court case, Municipal Court case and KBI history.
Save the disputed information Record the URL, date viewed, Name ID, incident number and court case number.
Obtain controlling proof Use a certified dismissal, amended journal entry, sentencing order or agency correction.
Correct the source office first Jail errors go to the Sheriff, WPD errors to Wichita Police and docket errors to the court clerk.
Request an updated statewide record Recheck KBI after the court or arresting agency processes the correction.
Dispute private background reports separately Provide the corrected government record to the screening company.
Recheck every connected database One agency’s correction may not update all public or private systems immediately.
Correction versus expungement: Correction fixes information that is factually wrong. Expungement restricts an accurate record when Kansas law permits it.
Kansas record relief

Expunge an eligible Sedgwick County arrest or conviction

Arrest record only

Used when the person seeks expungement of an arrest that did not result in the conviction or diversion being addressed.

Conviction or diversion

Used for qualifying completed convictions or diversion agreements after the required waiting period.

Wichita Municipal case

Municipal convictions and arrest records use the city’s court forms and filing procedure.

Expungement eligibility depends on the offense, final disposition, completion date, waiting period and later history. Some offenses are not eligible.
Obtain every case and arrest identifier Collect the Name ID, incident number, arrest date, case number, charges and final disposition.
Choose arrest-only or conviction-and-diversion forms Do not use a conviction petition for an arrest-only request. Open Kansas adult expungement forms

Download the complete form set The Judicial Council provides instructions, cover sheets, petitions, notices and proposed orders.
Use Sedgwick County’s local forms when applicable The District Attorney publishes arrest-record and conviction-or-diversion petition forms. Open Sedgwick County expungement forms

Obtain a signed expungement order Filing the petition alone does not restrict the record.
Confirm processing by every agency Recheck the Sheriff, Wichita Police, court and KBI after the final order is distributed.
Kansas law generally allows an eligible person to state that the expunged arrest, conviction or diversion did not occur in many ordinary applications, but statutory exceptions allow disclosure in specified situations.
Expungement does not automatically remove newspaper articles, social-media posts, screenshots or privately archived information created before the order.
