Illinois Public Arrest Records Available Online

By Claire Dowell


Along with the many wonderful advancement that our modern world has given us is the possibility of danger striking in the most unexpected time and ways. Because of this, many are shielding themselves by trying to find ways to stay safe. And the sad truth is that this is true even when we meet new friends. Many of us cannot help but wonder about how safe or dangerous our new friends are. As a result, background checks have become a common practice for many. The Prairie State of Illinois is one of the states that open its vital records to the public as a result of the Freedom of Information Act. So obtaining Illinois criminal records in the state is quite easy.

In Illinois, if you want to perform a background check on a person, you need to get in touch with the Illinois State Police, particularly with its Bureau of Identification. Tasked with managing the state's Automated Fingerprint Identification System (which is used to identify suspects), the Bureau of Identification performs a named-based conviction information search for those who want copies of criminal records. If you want one, you need to mail a properly filled up application form along with a fee of $16 for every record you want searched. Most employers, however, prefer the fingerprint search option because it has been proven more effective. The said search has a $20 per name fee.

There's a free criminal records search option, but this is only reserved for those who want to review their own records. This free service can be done through a fingerprint search at a law enforcement agency in your area.

However, for those who do not own the Illinois criminal records they are requesting for, the only records that will be given to them are those for arrests that result to conviction. Only the record owner can obtain a complete copy of his criminal dossier. There are some exceptions, though, like law enforcement agencies, government offices, and authorized employers. They'll have to submit an authorization for the search, though.

A more efficient and faster option is available for you through independent online record providers. These record providers manage a comprehensive database that's available to access 24/7, as long as there is Internet connection. You'll find tons upon tons of vital records in their database. And no matter which part of the United States you are in, you can find the record that you need in their database.

What's best about acquiring the services of online record providers is the fact that it's the closest thing to getting free criminal records. Unlike government agencies that charge a fee for every request you make, these record providers will require to pay a very minimal fee once only; not twice or thrice. And in exchange for this, you will get unlimited access to their database! This means that you can search for whatever public record you want without having to spend anything more! Isn't that the kind of stuff sweet dreams are made of?
