As of Monday, April 22, 2024, criminal and civil search backlogs are cleared, and turnaround times have returned to normal.
As a reminder, updated criminal and civil record data from the Kansas Judicial Branch has been unavailable due to a technical issue with their information system that occurred October 2023. All Kansas jurisdictions, with the exception of Johnson County, were impacted by this issue.
