 '''''Restrictions for ordering death certificates from the stated of Kansas:'''''<br>
-The Kansas Legislature has determined that the vital records filed with this office are not open for public inspection. They are exempted from the Kansas Open Records Act [K.S.A. 45-221(a) and K.S.A. 65-2422d(c)]. The requestor must meet eligibility requirements and must provide proof of identification.
+Currently, the Office of Vital Statistics does allow requests for genealogical research. Pre-1940 records may be requested by an individual related as at least a cousin. Post 1940 records must be requested by an immediate family member.
 If you do not want to order the death record, you can search [[Substitute Records For United States Death Information|other records with death information]].
