Death certificates began being filed with the state Office of Vital Statistics on July 1, 1911. Because of the rise in identity theft, the office does not make vital record indexes available to the public. Currently, the Office of Vital Statistics does allow requests for [http://www.kdheks.gov/vital/genealogy.html 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. The requestor must meet eligibility requirements and must provide proof of identification.
