Wyandotte County's trial court is the 29th Judicial District Court, based at the Wyandotte County Courthouse in Kansas City, Kansas. A single Clerk of the District Court keeps criminal, civil, family, and probate records for the whole county, matching the pattern used across Kansas.
The Clerk's Office page describes how to request records and points to a form for information about cases filed in district court. Unlike some other Kansas county clerk pages, Wyandotte County's page does not itself link to Kansas CaseSearch, but CaseSearch (casesearch.kscourts.gov) covers Wyandotte County district court cases along with the rest of the state as part of the statewide Kansas eCourt rollout.
Kansas City, Kansas operates its own municipal court for city-ordinance violations and traffic tickets issued by city police, which is entirely separate from the district court and does not appear in CaseSearch or the Clerk's Office records.

What is available online
Wyandotte County District Court case information is searched statewide through Kansas CaseSearch (casesearch.kscourts.gov), even though the Clerk's Office website itself does not prominently link to it. Document availability depends on when the case was filed relative to the county's move onto the Kansas eCourt system, and sealed, juvenile, and certain domestic records are excluded from the public portal.
Which clerk has your record
In Kansas, the clerk who keeps a file depends on which court heard the case. Check the court name on the case notice, citation, or order, then use the office and coverage details above to identify the record holder. Court names and responsibilities differ by state; a county clerk may not keep court case files. For federal cases, see the PACER guide. The full court structure is on the Kansas page.

|---|---|---|
| District Courts | Felony and misdemeanor criminal cases; Divorce, custody, and other family cases; Civil suits of any amount, including small claims | Clerk of the District Court for the judicial district |
