Illinois Arrest Records

By Ben Kingsley


Arrest records Illinois manages are one of the criminal files that are open to the local residents. This means that the public is given access to such files if all requirements are met. An arrest record is only made open to the public once the case has been closed.

Arrest records have information that is used in some legal matters. This information includes the personal details of the arrested individual such as the complete name and birth details. One would also know whether the person has any significant body markings like tattoo, scars or birthmarks. The document would also show the crimes and violations that were committed by the person along with the charges that were filed against him/her. If the person was convicted the sentence that was given is also indicated on the record.

Owners of companies regularly conduct a background check on their people to make sure that the one's they have are qualified and has no criminal history. Employers would want to avoid these people who have a criminal history since most of the crimes that are happening are said to have been committed by people with criminal records. The local residents of Illinois are also careful about their safety and security thus they also check on the criminal records of the people living in their neighborhood. Local authorities are also using this type of document in their investigations.

Employers are the ones who benefit most from accessing the arrest records. However, the involved individuals sometimes suffer prejudice and inequality because of their previous counts of criminal history. Most of these people are having a problem in landing a decent job. Some have felt unfair treatment in the company. To avoid this, one can choose to expunge their records.

In Illinois, the arrest records are only released if the one who requested the document is the person himself. The documents are made open only for employment and investigation reasons, other than that would require an authorization coming from the person on the file. A fingerprint search can be done in order to get a copy of an arrest record in Illinois, but if this is not possible, one can request for a name based search. It is important that all the basic information needed be provided in order to avoid delay in the search process. The Department of Justice is where the arrest records are being managed and archived. Fees can range from $16 to $30. The office also accepts mail orders that have complete requirements in it, otherwise it may be denied.

With the help of the Internet, access to the criminal records is now a breeze. Residents of the state prefer to search online since it is faster and convenient. One can even do the search at midnight and the results are still displayed in just seconds. It has eliminated the need to travel and waste energy and time.
