Criminal Records Illinois Updated Database Online

By Ben Kingsley


In 1991 of January the 1st, the Uniform Conviction Information Act or UCIA became law in the State of Illinois. As such, all Illinois criminal records with convictions that was maintained and collected by the Illinois State Police or ISP to be made available to the public. A check of criminal records whether for oneself or for another is important as this record serves as a valid document that shows a person's background. Currently two forms are available that one can may be able to request for criminal history records from the Illinois State Police - Non-Fingerprint and Fingerprint Conviction Information Request Form. All requests should be made using the forms as each of the forms has their own unique processing control number.

For those who will be requesting using the non-fingerprint conviction form, they should include all the pertinent details of the person whose records they are requesting. This is important, as the ISP will base their searches from the identification/details provided. The cost for the request is $16 for each name and $30 for checks not drawn in US banks. As most criminals would use different names or aliases, there might be times when there are no results shown. For a more reliable search, one can instead opt for a fingerprint request. The request will be conducted using the ISP fingerprint criminal database and cost is $20 and $50 for checks not drawn in the US. The ISP accepts money order, checks and credit card payment.

The ISP allows multiple requests; however, maiden names are treated separately. A single check is allowed to cover the cost of the multiple requests. It is important to double check the details of the request form before submitting as incomplete forms will not be processed and the fees will be forfeited.

In case those who request background checks on themselves find some inconsistencies with their records, they might request to view and challenge their records with the local enforcement agency. The agency will then process a fingerprint-based inquiry and would send the details to the person within 60 days. The person can view their file in the agency themselves and make corrections if necessary. There are no fees being charged by the ISP; however, the law enforcement agency might charge the person to cover the cost of the fingerprint.

To obtain a copy from the FBI, one should send their request to the FBI office with a cover letter. The cover letter should include the person's information such as contact number and fingerprint card as well as the $18 fee. The FBI accepts money order, credit card and check payments. The processing can take about 8 to 10 weeks after the FBI receives the request.

Another way for one to obtain their criminal records is to visit the local police department or the circuit clerk court where the case was filed. For a more convenient way to access arrest records, public search sites are available online. They provide the fastest and most convenient way to obtain criminal records or do background checks for individuals or others. A small nominal fee might be required to obtain the full report; however, for those who do bulk researches, most of the sites do offer packages, which would not only be convenient but also cost efficient.
