NO FCRA USE. This privately run website has no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource points to Fulton County and Illinois criminal-record sources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
Fulton County Criminal History is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It neither stores official criminal records nor files papers, retrieves records, or performs an official check for a user.
Its function is to identify the relevant Fulton County Sheriff and Circuit Clerk channels, ISP Bureau of Identification services, the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, and independent research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on avoiding the following conduct:

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Illinois registry information is published for public safety, and the Illinois Sex Offender Registration Act forbids its use for harassment, threats, intimidation, or unlawful discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

A legally permitted check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from the ISP Bureau of Identification when appropriate or from a provider that complies with the FCRA.
