Important Notes
- Price: The cost of the name check is $30.00. Payment is required at the time of the
request
to initiate the record check. All transactions are final and non-refundable.
- The name check results will be delivered to the email address provided in the application.
- A name-based criminal records check is a request that is based on personal identifiers. Such
requests will result in a search of the Illinois State Police (ISP) criminal history record
files to
produce a subject record which matches identifiers used in the search (e.g., name, sex, race,
and
date of birth).
- A name inquiry has the potential of producing multiple “hits”. This means that the data provided
may
match more than one subject. A fingerprints-based check may be required to obtain correct
criminal
record data.
- Please note that it is not uncommon for an individual to use an alias name or incorrect date of
birth. If a name-based check is submitted with personal identifiers that do not match the
personal
identifiers in the ISP criminal history database, the correct information may not be returned.
To
avoid inaccuracies, an applicant may want to consider a fingerprint-based
search of the ISP's criminal history record files.
- When processing a UCIA request for employment purposes, the applicant’s signature is required.
This signature must be retained for two years by the employer. The employer is required to
provide a copy of the response to the applicant.
- Any person who intentionally and knowingly requests, obtains, or seeks to obtain
conviction
information under false pretenses, disseminates inaccurate or incomplete conviction
information or violates any other provisions of 20 ILCS 2625/1 may be guilty of a crime
punishable by up to one year of imprisonment and/or may incur civil liabilities.
