Check the form and your provider type.
An official agency form is issued or listed by the agency; that label alone does not establish mandatory use. A required state form is identified as mandatory in the cited instructions. A required record identifies information you must maintain; its format may be flexible. An optional template is a suggested format. Official instructions / portal links explain the application or record process.
Read “Applies to” and “Format and applicability” for each item. Home, group-home, center, local licensing, food-program, and subsidy requirements can differ.

When to use or update
Before submitting any legacy KDHE document.
Format and applicability: Public hub; its family-home forms subpage intermittently returned 403.
Selected official forms and public instructions were reviewed on September 14, 2026. This is a practical starting list, not a complete certification of every record, retention period, local rule, or individual application.
KDHE's licensing homepage says it is no longer updated and redirects users to KOEC.
New KOEC family-home subpage could not be consistently fetched. Reviewed legacy documents are offered as official reference copies with current-routing cautions, not confirmed latest KOEC editions.
Do not carry forward old KDHE fees, mailing addresses or emails without checking KOEC.
Subsidy participation paperwork was not verified in this pass.
Use the agency’s current original and revision instructions. Keep confidential child and staff records in your own secure record system.
Use this sheet to check which items apply to your program. A listed item or a checked box does not establish that your program meets licensing requirements.
