How to Look Up Illinois Arrest Records

Online Inmate Search (Fastest)

Counties marked "Online Search" have live jail roster portals. These show current inmates only — not historical booking records. Results are typically updated every 15 minutes to 24 hours.

Phone Lookup

For counties without online portals, call the jail or sheriff's office directly. Have the full name and approximate date of arrest ready.

FOIA Request (Historical Records)

For historical arrest records, booking photos, or incident reports, submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the arresting agency. Illinois FOIA — 5 ILCS 140. Most agencies respond within 5 business days.

ISP Criminal History (Official Background Check)

The Illinois State Police CHRI system provides official statewide criminal history records. Required for employment background checks, firearms purchases, and licensing. 20 ILCS 2635.

Presumption of Innocence

An arrest record does not indicate guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Illinois law prohibits discrimination based solely on arrest records in many employment contexts. 775 ILCS 5/2-103.

Record Expungement & Sealing

Many Illinois arrest records are eligible for expungement. Use our Expungement Eligibility Checker to see if your record qualifies. 20 ILCS 2630/5.2.
