IDs and job records for inmates
Within nine months before release, the Kansas Secretary of Corrections checks if you have current ID and job papers. If you are missing them, the department makes a reasonable effort to get a certified birth certificate, a Social Security card or replacement, and, if eligible, a Kansas driver’s license or a state ID card. The department must also give your vocational training record, work record, any education certificates or diplomas, and a resume listing skills you learned. The Secretary works with state agencies to get these records, and those agencies must help. These rules do not apply if you are released to another jurisdiction on a warrant or detainer. They also do not apply if the Secretary decides you are physically or mentally unable to return to the workforce when released.
