Sedgwick County exact answer

Is a Social Security number required in Sedgwick County?

This answer belongs to the issuing office and task named above. It does not substitute a statewide summary or infer a rule the office does not publish.

Direct answer

In Sedgwick County, the application asks for each party's Social Security number. A party who does not have one is not turned away: the Kansas Judicial Branch says to enter 999-99-9999 in the field instead. The 18th Judicial District publishes nothing on this; the requirement belongs to the statewide application it sends you to.
