What Is Access & Review?

Access & Review is the fingerprint-based process to obtain your personal Illinois criminal history record—commonly called a “Rap Sheet.” Results are returned directly to you for private review.

• Method: Live-scan fingerprints submitted to the Illinois State Police (ISP).
• Privacy: Results are delivered to you, not to an employer or third party.
• Tracking: You’ll receive a Transaction Control Number (TCN) receipt at time of service.

Why You Might Need a “Rap Sheet”

• Expungement or sealing of your criminal history
• Private adoption or attorney review
• Citizenship/immigration preparation
• Pre-employment review
• Review a personal copy of your entire Illinois criminal record
• Travel abroad; nationwide travel documentation
