City of Lawrence - Office of the City Clerk

Please note that the Staff of the City Clerk’s Office is unable to conduct searches on your behalf for the record(s) requested. However, you are invited to conduct your own search of our records or engage the services of someone on your behalf to search our records for your purposes. In order to allow my staff the ability to address daily public requests for vital records and information, the records maintained by this office will be made available for genealogical searches each business day between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. A fee of $10.00 is charged for searching the available records that appear in the index files and a $10.00 fee is charged to view registers. Also, there is a limitation on the total number of people that may be permitted to conduct record searches at any given time due to the size of the office and to allow staff to conduct the daily business of the office. Please contact the office in advance if you wish to have a search of the records conducted and to arrange a date and time that a search can be conducted by your or by anyone you may wish to conduct a search on your behalf.
