This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that matches the Madison County record:
- Court case files: review criminal court cases or contact the Madison County Circuit Clerk
- Illinois criminal-history records: use ISP Bureau of Identification services
- Arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Madison County Sheriff for sheriff-created or county jail material
- Official state checks: follow the ISP Bureau of Identification process
- Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
- Expungement and sealing: file in the court where the Madison County case was heard
For sheriff arrest, booking, or jail records, contact the Madison County Sheriff, 405 Randle Street, Edwardsville, IL 62025, through the county number at 618-296-6200. For court dockets, filed charges, dispositions, and copies, contact the Madison County Circuit Clerk and Courthouse, 155 N. Main Street, Edwardsville, IL 62025, through the same county general number, 618-296-6200. Confirm the correct extension and current counter hours before visiting.
