The agency holding the original file should answer questions about official McDonough County criminal records. Court matters go to the Circuit Clerk, sheriff and jail records go to the Sheriff's Office, and statewide criminal-history requests go to the Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification.

This Is Not a Government Office. This is a private reference resource. We cannot retrieve a criminal record, perform an official background check, correct or remove a record, or receive an expungement filing. Contact the responsible government office for those services.
