Illinois Inmate Search

What is an Inmate Search?

An inmate search can be done online or in person. When done online, using the Check People inmate search, whether that's for Illinois or any other state, you start by searching using an inmates name and their location. Doing it online is the easiest way to see the current status on whoever you're looking for.

You will have to know their first and last name in order to get a successful search result, though sometimes knowing a first name and a last initial could work if you know other details such as their age. Knowing the location the inmate is in will help drastically narrow down the search unless they have a unique name.

Another helpful feature we have is a reverse phone number tool. You can simply type in someone's phone number, if you don't know their name or location and still get results that may answer some questions you've been having.

Where To Do an Inmate Search?

When you're considering doing an inmate search on someone, whether it's an upcoming date with someone you met online, a celebrity, a loved one or somebody else, there are several different options for you.

One of the more traditional ways you can complete an inmate search in Illinois is going to your local courthouse, the courthouse in the county they were tried in, the police department or even the sheriff's website for whichever county they were in at the time.

Any of these places are sure to help you find out what information you need. If these locations are too far for you to travel to or they cost too much for your budget, like most everything these days, there's options to do it online.

Is Using Check People Legal?

Using Check People to find an inmate in Illinois or anywhere in the United States for that matter is completely legal. There was an act passed called the "Freedom of Information Act" which lets the public have access to the information listed above.

Our site is regulated under the Fair Credit and Reporting Act. This allows us to give you the access needed to public records. This can be useful for someone looking up a potential employee, a future resident for landlords or used by banks and lenders when someone is looking into getting a large loan or a specific insurance type.

Lastly, you may be wondering if the search you're completing is anonymous. Is it possible that the inmate can see that you're searching for them and the answer is no. It is a private search and unless they're sitting next to you while you search, they have no way of knowing it's being done.
