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.

For those who want to view and challenge their criminal records, they may do so by requesting their local law enforcement agency to initiate a fingerprint-based inquiry that would allow the person to access and review their own criminal record transcript. The ISP does not charge for the Access and Review or Record Challenge processing; however, the law enforcement agency or the correctional facilities may charge the person a fee to cover the cost of the request.

To get a copy of one's criminal records from the FBI, they can send a request to the FBI introducing themselves, their contact info as well as their own fingerprints. The cost of the request is $18 and payments made through money orders, credit cards or checks are accepted. The processing for the report will take about 8 to 10 weeks upon the receipt of the request.

Another easier way to get a background check on oneself or another person is by visiting the local police department or the county clerk office. The police department contains arrest records for public use whereas case records with conviction are available from the Court clerk. For those who want a faster and convenient way to obtain records, they can research through public search portals available online. These sites provide access to vital records as well as public records for free or for a minimal fee.
