School bus drivers are also required by Illinois State Law to receive fingerprint-based background checks as a part of the licensing process with the Secretary of State’s Office (SOS). We are also authorized by the State to process ink cards for out-of-state and international applicants.
If your requesting agency has not received a response from the Illinois State Police (ISP), you can contact the ISP for an update. You must have the Transaction Control Number (TCN) from your receipt. You can reach the ISP via an email at [email protected]; or by phone 815-740-5160 option #2.
Fingerprints will be processed by the Illinois State Police (ISP), and/or the FBI when necessary. Processing time averages between 24-48 hours (State and FBI response times) after they are received by the ISP.
If the ISP cannot make an immediate determination of the background check, they will send a notification to the Requesting Agency that the results are “pending”. For an “pending” response, it means further processing is required to determine if conviction data is available. Processing time is approximately 30 days. Most responses are sent within 48 hours after being received by the ISP.
Note: The ISP may take up to 45 days to complete a criminal history response.

There are two options for Illinois criminal history reports, UCIA or Access and Review. You can obtain a copy of your criminal conviction background record on file with the Illinois State Police (ISP) by submitting a UCIA (Uniform Conviction Information Act) background check. Pursuant to the Uniform Conviction Information Act of 1991, all individuals are permitted to request their conviction criminal background on file with the State of Illinois.
An Access and Review background report furnished by the ISP can only be requested by the applicant (not a third party). It is similar to the UCIA check, but returns more complete information. In addition to Illinois conviction information, it returns all criminal data on file including open arrests, with and without disposition information.
Accurate Biometrics accepts primary identification from the Illinois Administrative Code (see below.) You must bring a valid (unexpired) photo State Driver’s License, or State ID Card with you to get fingerprinted for Illinois employment or licensing.
The following is the excepted from the current Illinois State Law (found in the Administrative Rules) referencing the identity requirements of an applicant to be fingerprinted in by an Illinois Live Scan vendor:

B) Secondary Identification – The work order shall include all of the information set forth in subsection (c)(2)(A). In the absence of a driver's license or State identification number, the work order shall contain verification that the individual seeking to be fingerprinted provided at least 2 forms of identity verification described within the Identity Verification Program Guide (2014) developed and available from the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's website, no later amendments or editions apply. A copy of the documentation used to establish identity verification shall be attached as part of the work order.
C) Requesting Agency Authorized Identification – The work order shall include all of the information set forth in subsection (c)(2)(A). If the individual is unable to provide a driver's license, Secretary of State issued State identification or any identity verification set forth in subsection (c)(2)(B), the agency requesting the individual to be fingerprinted must authorize an alternative form of identification to be used to verify the identity of the individual seeking to be fingerprinted. The work order must contain documentation confirming that the requesting agency authorized the use of an alternative form of identification in the absence of a Primary or Secondary form of identity verification. A copy of the requesting agency authorized identity verification documentation shall be attached as part of the work order;
