Register of Deeds

The Register of Deeds Office serves as the official custodian for Dickinson County land records, vital records, and other documents as required. Our responsibilities include maintaining, preserving, indexing, and providing access to county land and vital records. We are governed by Kansas statutes, which outline specific procedures and requirements for managing these records.

We are committed to delivering respectful and efficient service. Our office focuses on record preservation, strives to maintain the integrity of all documents, and seeks opportunities to use new technology that improves service quality.

Our staff is knowledgeable and ready to assist you with your questions about property and vital records. Please note, however, that the Register of Deeds is a recorder of documents, not a research service. Fees apply for any research requests.
