Kansas immunization records are state documents
Vaccination records from a clinic, pharmacy or Kansas’s immunization registry are state-level documents, even when they mention the CDC. They route through the Kansas Secretary of State, not the U.S. Department of State. Only genuinely CDC-issued documents take the federal route.

What the Kansas Secretary of State can do
The Kansas Secretary of State in Topeka issues apostilles for documents signed by Kansas officials — birth, death and marriage certificates from Kansas registrars, Kansas state-court records, and documents notarized by Kansas notaries. It has no authority over federal documents such as FBI reports, USCIS certificates or IRS letters.
State offices set their own procedures and fees, so confirm current requirements with the office before submitting a state document.
