-I- GENERAL INFORMATION
The History of the Bureau of Identification
O
n February 14, 1929, seven men were lined up against a
wall in a garage located at 2212 North Clark Street,
Chicago, and were shot by four men, two of which were
wearing police uniforms.
The Chicago Police Department identified six of the victims,
through fingerprints, as members of the O’Bannion gang. The
subsequent investigation indicated that the murders were
committed by four members of a Detroit gang associated with
Al Capone.
This crime became known as the Saint
Valentine’s Day Massacre.
The public uproar over the brazen murders became one of the
motivating forces for reform in crime fighting. Supporters of a
reform movement used the role fingerprints played in solving
this crime to push for a state level identification bureau.
During December 1930, local, state, and federal government officials met to discuss
crime-related problems. The attendees of this meeting agreed to form a committee that
would support legislation, creating a state repository for criminal records.
On July 2, 1931, Governor Henry Horner signed House Bill 1073 into law, thus creating
the Bureau of Identification (BOI). The BOI was created for the purpose of collecting,
maintaining, and disseminating criminal history record information (CHRI).
In January 1932, T.P. Sullivan became the first Superintendent of the BOI. With
borrowed supplies, $10,000, and two assistants, Sullivan began. During 1932, Sullivan
collected approximately 30,000 arrest fingerprint cards, which comprised the bureau’s
master fingerprint file.
Today, the BOI operates the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS),
Computerized Criminal History (CCH), and the Livescan Network, representing a unique
blend of technology. The manual file is maintained in both paper and microfilm formats
and currently contains approximately 2.8 million records. The automated file, which is
comprised of the CCH system and AFIS, consists of approximately 3.8 million
offenders.

The Role of the Bureau of Identification as the State Central
Repository
T
he Bureau of Identification is the state central repository for criminal records. The
BOI’s primary function is to collect, maintain and disseminate criminal history record
information (CHRI). The BOI’s specific responsibilities for the collection, maintenance
and dissemination of CHRI data are identified in the Illinois Criminal Identification Act,
20 ILCS 2630, et al. Criminal history record information maintained by the BOI consists
of information reported by Illinois criminal justice agencies summarizing an individual’s
contacts with the criminal justice system. An individual’s CHRI transcript, commonly
referred to as a “rapsheet”, consists of personal identification information such as name,
sex, race, and date of birth, as well as other physical characteristics. Transcripts include
a cumulative record of arrests, state’s attorney dispositions, court dispositions, sentence
information and custodial data.
Criminal history record information is used for criminal justice as well as non-criminal
justice purposes. Police agencies use CHRI data in conducting investigations and in
charging suspects. State’s attorneys rely on CHRI data in deciding how to approach a
case, in making bail recommendations, in negotiating pleas, and in filing charges that
may be upgraded based on a defendant’s prior criminal history. Judges rely on CHRI
data in both setting bond for defendants and in deciding which defendants should not be
released on bond prior to final disposition of a case. Judges also use CHRI data to
determine the appropriate sentence for defendants found guilty as a result of the court
proceedings. Probation and community correctional personnel use CHRI data to
determine the appropriate levels of supervision and to develop individualized treatment
programs for offenders. Correctional institutions utilize CHRI data in determining
security classifications, housing and work assignments for inmates. Non-criminal justice
agencies utilize CHRI for making hiring and licensing decisions.
The BOI is the agency which provides access to CHRI data and ensures that
information disseminated is in compliance with state and federal laws governing the use
of such data. The CHRI database consists of 3,804,564 subjects and over 12,000,000
subject names.
The National Child Protection/Volunteers for Children Act
E
ffective December 20, 1993, the National Child Protection Act (NCPA) of 1993,
Public Law 103-209, encouraged states to adopt legislation meeting the criteria of
Public Law 92-544 to authorize a national criminal history background check to
determine an employee’s or volunteer’s fitness to care for the safety and well being of
children. On September 13, 1994, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act
of 1994, Public Law 103-322, expanded the scope of the NCPA to include the elderly
and individuals with disabilities.
-5-
The NCPA is a voluntary law which states are encouraged to implement. However, if a
state chooses to implement this act, all provisions of the act must be implemented.
There are very few states participating in the NCPA due to certain provisions contained
in the act. One of the provisions of the NCPA requires that participating states designate
a state agency to act as the screening agent responsible for making the fitness
determination of applicants and ultimately deciding whether an applicant can be hired or
used as a volunteer. Unfortunately, Illinois does not have a designated state agency to
act in this capacity and therefore is unable to participate in the NCPA. There are several
other provisions of the NCPA which also prohibit Illinois from participating at this time.
As a result of the concerns expressed by states that would like to participate in the
NCPA but are unable to, the U.S. Congress is currently revising certain provisions of the
act to make it more workable for states such as Illinois. Until the NCPA is amended,
non-criminal justice agencies can access Illinois conviction records pursuant to the
Illinois Uniform Conviction Information Act (UCIA).

-II- UNIFORM CONVICTION INFORMATION
ACT
The Uniform Conviction Information Act
O
n January 1, 1991, the Uniform Conviction Information Act (UCIA) became law in
Illinois. This act mandates that all criminal history record conviction information
collected and maintained by the Illinois State Police, Bureau of Identification, be made
available to the public pursuant to 20 ILCS 2635/1 et seq. This law permits only
conviction information to be disseminated to the public.
All requests for UCIA information must be submitted on a Conviction Information
Request form, each containing a unique transaction Control Number (TCN).
Consequently, copies cannot be processed. All inquiries must be submitted on an
original form. Always record the TCN, which is located in the top right hand corner of
the UCIA request form. This number is used in tracking the status of the request form.
Each form must be accompanied by a check or money order in the appropriate amount
made payable to the Illinois State Police. No other form of payment will be accepted.
Multiple requests may be submitted with a single check or money order to cover the
total cost. Please refer to the current fee schedule located in the Appendix on page 90
for the fees associated with each form.
Conviction Information Request Fingerprint Form

the ISP does not ensure that conviction information does not
exist under personal identifiers for the individual in question.
Conversely, a “record” response does not ensure that the record
belongs to the subject in question. It is common for criminal
offenders to use false or alias names and dates of birth which
may not be detected by a name based request. To ensure that
the information furnished by the ISP positively pertains to the
individual in question, a Fingerprint Inquiry card form (#ISP6647) should be submitted. Fingerprints are the only positive
means of identification.

-IV- CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD
INFORMATION
Arrest Vs. Conviction Records
M
ost non-criminal justice agencies that submit criminal history record information
inquiries to Bureau of Identification are authorized to receive conviction information
only pursuant to state law. Conviction information typically includes arrests, states
attorney disposition, court disposition and any custodial information pertaining to the
applicant, provided the subject was remanded to a custodial institution. Arrests
transactions which result in a court finding of not guilty or an acquittal can not be
disseminated to non-criminal justice agencies. If the BOI is unable to obtain a court
disposition for an arrest transaction, that arrest is also not disseminated to non-criminal
justice agencies.
Criminal justice agencies are authorized to receive conviction as well as non-conviction
criminal history record information. There are no restrictions on the CHRI data that can
be disseminated to law enforcement agencies for applicant purposes, provided the
applicant will be employed by the law enforcement agency. With the exception of public
housing authorities, law enforcement agencies are prohibited from conducting Law
Enforcement Agency Data System (LEADS) inquiries on behalf of non-criminal justice
agencies.
Name Checks Vs. Fingerprint Checks
N
ame checks are non-fingerprint inquiries submitted to the BOI for processing based
on the personal identifies pertaining to a subject. Those identifiers consist of the
name, sex, race, date of birth and social security number of the subject, if provided.
Responses to name checks are not based on positive identification. Consequently, such
responses do not preclude the existence of a record under other personal identifiers. To
reduce the potential for error, name inquiry submissions must be completed as
accurately as possible. However, common names can result in multiple hits responses
being produced. Data submitted as a name inquiry must comply with the standard
National Crime Information Center (NCIC) code values for sex and race. If a name
inquiry is submitted containing invalid code values, the search results can be adversely
affected.
Fingerprint inquiries are processed utilizing an Automated Fingerprint Identification
System (AFIS). The search is based on the fingerprint minutia data contained on the
submission. Responses to fingerprint inquiries are based on positive identification. The
personal identifiers contained on a fingerprint card are not used as the primary means
- 24 -
of conducting the search. The accuracy of the personal identifiers used in a fingerprint
search will not affect the accuracy of the search. While individuals can utilize multiple
names and other personal identifiers, no two individuals have the same identical
fingerprints. To ensure that the information furnished by the BOI positively pertains to
the subject in question, a fingerprint inquiry should be submitted rather than a name
inquiry.
How the Name Search Routine Works
T
he BOI uses a soundex routine when processing name inquiries on the Illinois
Computerized Criminal History database. This routine does not require an exact
match on the name to produce a hit response. Soundex assigns numerical values to
vowels and consonants comprising the subject’s name and assigns additional values
based on a match of the subject’s sex, race, and date of birth. If the sum total of those
values reaches a certain threshold, a hit response is produced. Again, an exact match
on all identifiers is not required in order to produce a hit response. Social security
numbers are not used in the search routine due to the number of false hits produced.
If false or inaccurate identifiers are submitted to the Illinois State Police on a name
inquiry, an exact name search routine would miss any existing record. The soundex
routine is designed to minimize these occurrences while limiting the potential of multiple
false hit responses. However, in order to eliminate the potential of false name hits or
misses, the Illinois State Police recommends fingerprint inquiries are submitted rather
than name inquiries. Fingerprints are the only means of positive identification. Again,
the name, sex, race, and date of birth are not taken into consideration when the BOI
processes a fingerprint inquiry.
How the Fingerprint Inquiry Process Works
T
he BOI processes fingerprint submissions using an Automated Fingerprint
Identification System, more commonly referred to as AFIS. AFIS is a computer
system that accepts both electronic and paper fingerprint cards and processes those
submissions in conjunction with the Criminal History Records Information system. Once
a fingerprint card is received, the demographic data entered into the CHRI system. The
fingerprint data is simultaneously input into AFIS. The AFIS system was designed to
classify and identify fingerprint minutia and process it in a digitized format. AFIS then
searches existing records on its database to determine if there is a match. If there is no
match, a new record is established. If there is a match, the CHRI data is then linked to
the existing record. Eighty-five percent of AFIS searches require no human intervention
and can be processed in a matter of minutes. AFIS has a ten print search capability as
well as a latent fingerprint search capability. AFIS has the capacity to process 4000
fingerprint submissions in a 24 hour period. The current intake averages 2700 tenprint
submissions a day, 7 days a week. AFIS is capable of 15,000 finger comparisons per
second, allowing a search of the entire 38,000,000 finger print images on file in less
- 25 -
than two hours for latent processing. New records are added to the database at an
average of 20,000 tenprint records per month.
Why Some Inquiries Result in a “No Hit” Response
T
here are various reasons why some inquiries result in a “no hit” or “no record”
response. Listed below are some of the most common reasons for this result.
1.
Conviction responses to juvenile arrests (individuals under 17 years of
age) can only be made available if the juvenile is tried as an adult or
convicted of a forcible felony;
2.
ISP can only provide Illinois conviction information; therefore, we do not
maintain any out of state information;
3.
Charges in Illinois that are reportable to ISP by arresting agencies are
felonies, class A & B misdemeanors, DUI charges, aggravated fleeing &
eluding and anti-theft laws. Class C misdemeanors and local ordinances
are not mandated to be reported to ISP so these charges may not be
available.
4.
ISP is mandated to provide conviction information only (charges that are
dismissed or where supervision is received are not conviction information);
5.
Conviction information that is not reported to us. While we attempt to
retrieve missing court dispositions, we are not always able to get this
information.
6.
If a subject has his or her record expunged, that information is no longer
maintained by the BOI.
7.
Finally, if a name check is submitted with personal identifiers which do not
match the personal identifiers maintained in the CHRI database, the
correct record might not be disseminated.
Accessing the ISP Sex Offender Registration Database
T
he current size of the Sex Offender Registrant Database is 18,650. Of those
registered:
18,269 are male and 381 are female;
15,788 are currently living in Illinois and 2,862 have left the state of Illinois;
- 26 -
879 are juvenile offenders with the youngest offender being age 12.
2,421 are incarcerated.
There are four categories for Sex Offender Registration:
General sex offender.
Sexually violent offender, created in 1998. They are already incarcerated and
are deemed sexually violent at the time they are being considered for release.
Sexually dangerous. They are designated as such at the time of sentencing
for their sex offense.
Sexual predator, created July 1, 1999. One is designated as a sexual
predator when the individual is remanded to the State Penitentiary for an
indefinite period of time from a Civil proceeding.
Of the 18,650 registrants:
3,267 are sexual predators;
50 are deemed sexually dangerous; and
209 are sexually violent and are housed by the
Department of Human Services.
To access the
Sex Offender Registrant
database, go to
www.isp.state.il.us/sor/fr
ames.htm
Since 1998, 6 have been released.
Illinois has an 88% compliance rate for individuals who have registered, one of the
highest rates in the country. The other 12% are non-compliant and are on the street.
This information is also available from the database. Contact local authorities if one of
these individuals is encountered. The Sex Offender Registration (SOR) website allows
searches to be done by various means, i.e. town, county, etc. You may access this
website through the Illinois State Police website. Persons registered from out of state or
as a juvenile might not be posted to the Illinois CHRI database.
Accessing the FBI CHRI Records
T
he law in Illinois is specific; in order for a non-criminal user agency to receive FBI
fingerprint based information a state statute must be in place indicating that a
particular user agency has the authority to receive FBI information. The FBI only
performs fingerprint based background checks. An FBI response to a fingerprint based
background check will show all arrest information, unlike Illinois which can only provide
conviction information. Due to this statutory difference, a user could receive a no
- 27 -
record for conviction information from an Illinois background check and receive
the arrest data from the FBI.
Example:
While a Park District can be statutorily viewed as a local government
agency (FEAPP) and receive FBI information on employees/volunteers,
functions held at a Park District that are not part of the Park District are not
statutorily authorized to receive FBI information (UCIA only) and can only
receive Illinois conviction information.
FBI Freedom Of Information Act
Individuals using a UCIA form cannot request a background check through the FBI
through the BOI. To obtain FBI information, the individual must send an FBI fingerprint
card along with a certified check or money order for $18 made payable to the U.S.
Treasury.
Mail the fingerprint card, along with the payment to:
FBI
CJIS
1000 Custer Hollow Road
Clarksburg, WV 26306-0171
ATTENTION: SCU D-2
NOTE:
The FBI would prefer
fingerprints to be taken
on a blue fingerprint
card, however, they will
accept any fingerprint
card.
General number for the FBI, CJIS Division: (304) 625- 5590.

-VI- THE FISCAL PROCESS
Understanding Your Monthly Statement
S
tatements are sent out monthly and should reflect any activity - debits and/or credits
- that have occurred in your account during the time frame that is shown on the
statement. Your monthly account statement consists of seven parts. (A full sample
statement is located in the Appendix on page 84.)
The first part of the statement is your agency name and address. If you need to request
an address change, please submit on your agency letterhead this request. If you want
the statement to go to the attention of a certain person, please submit this in writing
also.
The second and third parts of the statement are your cost center number and your ORI
number. Whenever placing a call concerning your account, please have this information
available. These are the identifiers for your agency.
The fourth and fifth parts of the statement are the account debits and the account
credits. The account debits contain a listing of any names submitted for background
checks and the amount withdrawn from your account for each submission during the
time frame of the statement. This amount will vary depending on the type of submission.
The account credits contain any deposits that have been made into your account during
the time frame of the statement.
- 40 -
The sixth and seventh parts of the statement are the beginning and the ending balances
for your account.
Duplicates On Your Statement
I
f a name is listed more than once on your monthly statement, this is considered to be
a duplicate submission. If the duplicate is the result of an ISP system error, credit will
be issued to the agency. If the duplicate is the result of the agency resubmitting the
same name multiple times, credit may be issued depending on the reason for the
resubmission. Please contact Customer Support in order for the problem to be referred
to either technical support or the fiscal unit.
Replenishing Your Account
W
hen an agency is submitting a payment to their account, please ensure that your
ORI number and your cost center number appear on the check or money order.
This will ensure that the credit is entered into the correct account.
- 41 -
-VII- ELECTRONIC INQUIRY & RESPONSE
METHODS
Electronic Enrollment Requirements
I
n order to process electronic inquiries, your agency head must sign an Interagency
Agreement (see Appendix page 80). The signed Interagency agreement should be
returned with an escrow check which will establish an account with the BOI. A copy of
the Interagency Agreement will be returned once it has been signed by the Director of
the Illinois State Police or his designee. An Agency Identification Number (ORI) will be
assigned by the BOI. This information will be included in Addendum 2 of the agreement
and returned to your agency.
Your escrow account check must be submitted with the Interagency Agreement. The
fee for each conviction inquiry submitted will be drawn against your escrow account. To
establish your escrow account, submit a check made payable to the Illinois State Police
Services Fund in a dollar amount of $250.00 for 35 or fewer inquiries a year, $500.00
for 36 to 70 inquiries per year, and $1000.00 for agencies submitting more than 70
inquiries per year. Please refer to the current fee schedule located in the Appendix on
page 90 for the fees associated with each form.
Submitting Conviction Information Requests Electronically
F
iles to be transferred electronically must be formatted to meet specific file
requirements. Records must also be prepared in an ASCII Text format. There will be
one record per line. Lines will be separated by a Carriage Return and Line Feed. The
layout is a standard fixed length 200 byte record. Each field must contain a certain
number of characters (pics).
The ORI has an assigned length of 9 pics in the required format. The ORI must begin in
the number 1 space on the line and end in the number 9 space of each line. If the data
for a field is less than the required length, you must use blank spaces in order to
maintain the required format. If data extends beyond the allowed length, the data cannot
extend to the next field. If an error is made in one field, the fields following will also be
misaligned. Data that is not properly formatted cannot be processed. Your records will
be returned with error messages.
We also recommend naming your file with your numeric agency ID and a single 3 digit
file extension. A filename example would be 12345678.F01.
- 42 -
The following table denotes the required format for electronic file submission.

Technical Issues
Windows XP and the FeeSub Program
T
here is a problem being caused by a newer version of the MSCAL.OCX file that was
installed by Microsoft Office XP. You may want to reference Microsoft Knowledge
Base article Q311219 as it describes this problem. The MSCAL.OCX file will need to be
copied to the C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE10 directory to roll
back the new version that Office XP had installed. After doing this, everything should
work properly.
Using the Electronic Entry Programs
T
he Electronic Entry Form is provided by the Illinois State Police Bureau of
Identification (BOI) to ensure that requests for background checks by e-mail are
submitted accurately. This user guide will acquaint users with the Electronic Entry Form
features. On screen instructions are available for each field and button by holding your
mouse pointer over the field or button.
From the Electronic Entry form, your records are saved to a file in the C:\Trans folder
on your machine. The file in the C:\Trans folder will be labeled with your AIN plus an
extension of “F01”. No matter how many records you are sending, they are all saved to
this one file in the C:\Trans folder. When a file is transferred over e-mail, your records
are archived in your computer according to the date they were sent.
- 46 -
Your files are archived on your computer in the Transarc folder according to the date
they were created. Whenever a new date is selected on the calendar after selecting
Prepare File for transfer, the old file automatically moves from the Trans folder to the
Transarc folder. The new file is then saved in the Trans folder. There should only be
one file at any time in the Trans folder.
Using the Fields
Always use capital letters and tab through the fields.
Agency ID Number (AIN) is assigned by Illinois State Police when user agreement
is completed.
Transaction Applicant Position is a drop down box, from which you are to choose
the code that matches the first two alphas of your agency ID. Type code on this
form may not match the code on your contract.
Transaction Type Code is automatically
generated and determined by the transaction
applicant position that is entered. This code
may not match the code on your contract.
Last Name is a required field. No special
characters or punctuation allowed.
First Name is a required field. At least one
character must be entered for First Name.
Middle Initial is an optional field.
WARNING:
If you send the same record on
different days, you will receive
two responses. You will also be
billed for two submissions. If
you suspect you have sent the
same record more than once,
contact
the
Bureau
of
Identification Fiscal Department
at 815-740-5160.
Date of Birth is a required field. Enter the date as MM/DD/CCYY. When the record
is saved, the “/ /” are removed. To edit or resave the record, “/ / “ must be placed
within the date of birth field.
Note:
When you move from the Date of Birth field to the Sex and Race fields you
must use the tab key to key in sex and race, or you will receive an error
message. The fields will retain their default color if entered correctly. If the
background color is clear you will receive an error message telling you the
date of birth field is not entered correctly.
Sex - Use the keyboard to enter these fields. (M) = Male, (F) = Female, (U) =
Unknown.
- 47 -
Race – Use the keyboard to select race: (A) = Asian/Pacific Islander, (B) = Black, (I)
= American Indian/Alaskan Native, (W) = white, (U) = Unknown.
Note:
If the Sex and/or Race field’s background color is clear when you save the
record, you will receive a “Field in Error” message. To rectify this, left
click on the field(s) which is clear in color, to change it to a colored
background. Put the “//” back in the Date of Birth and then resave the
record.
Social Security Number is an optional field. Use numeric characters only.
File Name is an optional field. If you would like an individual response for each
inquiry, enter your AIN plus a dot followed by a unique three digit number.
Example:
If your AIN is HC9511001, the first file name would be 951101.F01. The
second file name would be 951101.F02. The third file name would be
9511001.F03, etc.
Even with this method of giving unique file names to multiple records, you will notice the
Electronic Entry Program saves all the records in a single file which is named with your
AIN plus a file extension of .F01. This is because the Electronic Entry Program creates
a single file capable of containing hundreds of uniquely named records.
Filler – This field is not used by the Illinois State Police. This field is provided for
submitting agency use.
If a field is not correct, the program will return you to the field that needs to be corrected.
The most common error is related to the Date of Birth. You must use the tab key to
move from the Date of Birth Field to the Sex and Race fields. You must also enter the
date of birth in the required format. Files are saved by date.
You can retrieve your records for review by going to the Trans folder for the current file
or the Transarc folder for older files. The name of the files in the Transarc folder will be
the date they were created. The naming format for files in the Transarc folder is
“yyyymmdd” (For example: 20040312.
This file would have been created on
03/12/2004.)
Using the Buttons
Save – Saves the record that was entered. The save button only saves
the record to the database. You will save your database to the file in
your C:\Trans folder after you have entered all your records by using

Decryption Program
Why Digital Encryption?
A
ll Criminal History responses sent from the Bureau of Identification across the
internet in the form of email are federally mandated to be encrypted and users to be
- 50 -
authenticated. The Illinois State Police, in compliance with this mandate, will send out
email attachments that have been encrypted to industry standard IPSEC 3DES X.509
v3 protocol.
Encryption will guarantee the security of the information contained in the response
should it be intercepted by unauthorized persons while in-transit. Authentication will
guarantee the person receiving the encrypted response is the person intended and
authorized to decrypt it.
System Requirements
You will need:
A personal computer running Microsoft Windows
2000 Service Pack 3, Microsoft Windows XP
Service Pack 1, or higher. Note: Microsoft
Windows 95/98/ME is not supported nor is any
Apple/Macintosh Computers.
20 MB free disk space on a local disk drive

Installing Entrust
The Entrust Entelligence Desktop software is a self-extracting executable file called
ISP.EXE. Running this file will install the Entrust Entelligence client. Entrust is the
Encryption and Authentication software chosen by the State of Illinois for its Digital
Certificate Project.
The installation program will, by default, install onto the primary local hard drive of the
PC. There are no options the user can select or deselect. The minimum options have
been pre-selected to allow Entrust to function.
The installation program may automatically restart your system if there are files which
need to be updated.
- 51 -
ENTRUST Enrollment
Users are required to enroll with the State of Illinois in order to be issued a Digital
Certificate. Users must go to https://autora02.cmcf.state.il.us to begin the process.
The enrollee must be a real person with a valid Illinois Drivers License. Selected
information from the driver’s license will be asked for during enrollment. It must be
entered exactly as printed on the driver’s license.
Users must read and agree to the user agreement with the State of Illinois Central
Management Services. Out-of-State users must click the “Non-Illinois Resident
Accept” button instead of the Agree button on the Subscriber Agreement form.
When entering names into the name fields, do not put a period (.) after the middle initial.
The web site will allow the entry of one, but it causes problems elsewhere, so avoid
doing this.
Users will be asked to create a profile name and password. Please remember these.
Write them down and keep them in a safe place, if necessary.
The State Police Criminal History system is not capable of sending email to more than
one person. Therefore, only one person from each agency needs to be enrolled.
ENTRUST Operation
Once the user is successfully enrolled and the Entrust software is loaded, the user
should be able to log onto the CMS server.
Entrust will load an icon of a gold key in the task
tray when it is installed. When the user is not
logged in, a red “X” will appear over the gold key
as shown in figure
Figure 1
When the user is logged in, nothing will appear
over the gold key as shown in figure 2.
Figure 2
When the user is logged in, but the session has
timed out (i.e. no activity for more than 30
minutes) and has become locked, a red padlock
will appear over the gold key as shown in figure 3.
Figure 3
- 52 -
Double clicking on the Entrust icon in the task tray will bring up the Entrust Login Screen
as shown in figure 4.
Figure 4
The Profile Name and password are the same ones created when you enrolled. If you
forget the password for your Profile Name, you can go to the following URL:
https://autora01.cmcf.state.il.us/soi_recover.html
Follow the instructions to recover your password.
Please do not call the Illinois State Police as we will not be able to reset passwords on
the CMS Certificate Authority server.
If you experience difficulty installing the Entrust software or cannot log on once the
software has been installed, please contact the Illinois State Police Customer Support
Desk at (815) 740-5160. Tell the operator you need technical support for the CHRI
Response Decrypt project and you will be routed to the appropriate technical support
staff.
Installing the ISP Decrypt Program
Extract the ISPDecrypt.EXE file you downloaded from the Illinois State Police web site.
In the extraction folder will be the SETUP.EXE. Click on the OK button.
Click on the button resembling a picture of the computer. By default, the installation
program will put the ISPDecrypt.EXE program in a folder called ISPDecrypt off of the
Program Files path. If you wish to install the software to a folder other than the default
folder specified, click on the Change Directory button first and specify a new path.
While it is possible to change the installation path, this is not recommended by
the Illinois State Police.
- 53 -
This screen will show the group name of the Start Menu in which the software will be
placed. Again, it is not recommended to change any of these settings. Click on the
continue button and you should see a number of files being installed and a progress bar
estimating the install progress. The ISP Decrypt program will have been successfully
installed at this point.
Note:
The installation program may require your system to be restarted several
times during the installation process. It may be necessary to update
Windows system files which can only be done while Windows is not
running. Additionally, Windows files may only be updated one at a time, as
such, restarting the PC and restarting SETUP.EXE program several times
is not uncommon.
Activating Email Responses
Once you have enrolled for your Digital Certificate, have installed the Entrust
Entelligence software and can successfully log on to Entrust, and have installed the
CHRI Response Decrypt software, you must call the Illinois State Police to be activated.
For Criminal Justice Agencies, contact Paula Dolph at (815) 740-5342.
For Non-Criminal Justice Agencies, contact Rosanne Harris at (815) 740-5188.
You will not receive any responses via email until you have been activated by the Illinois
State Police.
This completes the installation, setup and enrollment for the receipt of Criminal History
Responses from the Illinois State Police.

-IX- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
L
isted below are answers to a number of the most frequently asked questions. These
questions and answers are included in the section for your reference.
Question:
The earlier versions of the electronic inquiry program required that my
inquiry be submitted over a modem, but my response was returned by
mail. Will I now receive responses back by e-mail?
Answer:
Yes. Your response will now be returned electronically to the e-mail
address supplied when enrolled. However, you will continue to receive
“hits” or conviction data through regular mail. The information received via
e-mail will be a listing of NO RECORD-NAME SEARCH ONLY,
PENDING-NAME SEARCH ONLY, MULTI-HIT-SUBMIT FINGERPRINTS
or ERROR - REQUIRED DATA. A NO RECORD notation next to the
subject name means there is no conviction data on file based on the
subject information submitted in your file. The PENDING notation means
that further processing is required to determine if the subject name has
any conviction data on file. The processing time for PENDING responses
is between 30 and 45 days. The MULTI-HIT notation means the subject
name pointed to more than one record and fingerprints are required to
determine which record, if any, belongs to the subject. ERROR REQUIRED DATA - notation means that there is an error in one or more
of the required eight fields (Agency Identification Number, Transaction
Applicant Position, Transaction Type Code, Last Name, First Name, Date
of Birth, Sex and Race). The record in question will have to be corrected
and resubmitted.
Question:
What is the response time for processing my files?
Answer:
Files submitted by 2:00 p.m. are processed that night and the
corresponding response e-mail are normally sent out the following
business day. Files emailed on weekends and holidays will be processed
the next business day.
Question:
Is this program a web-based Internet program?
Answer:
No.
- 60 -
Question:
What race code should be used for people of Hispanic decent?
Answer:
The NCIC code table states, Hispanics should be entered with the race
code most closely representing the individual. Most commonly, if this
cannot be determined, the individual is submitted as “U” (Unknown),
which includes all possible races within its search. The FBI created the
NCIC code table and established the specific race code definition. ISP has
no authority to modify the table’s race codes or change their definition.
Question:
What is the cost of submitting record checks?
Answer:
Please refer to the current fee schedule located in the Appendix on page
90 for the fees associated with each form.
Question:
How is payment made?
Answer:
Payment for electronic submissions will be drawn from your escrow
account at the rate of $7.00 per inquiry. Manual submissions must be
accompanied by a check or money order made payable to the Illinois
State Police. The charge for manual submissions is $10 each.
Question:
How much money do I need to start an escrow account?
Answer:
The minimum amount required is $250.00 for 35 or fewer inquiries per
year, $500.00 for 36 to 70 inquiries per year, and $1,000.00 for agencies
submitting more than 70 inquiries per year.
Question:
Are credit cards accepted?
Answer:
No.
Question:
Would there be a carry over if the entire escrow amount is not depleted by
the end of the contract period?
Answer:
Yes. The balance of your escrow account would be carried over. However,
if you decide to discontinue submitting UCIA inquiries via electronic
transfer, your escrow account balance would be returned upon request.
- 61 -
Question:
Does ISP provide any other information such as credit histories?
Answer:
No, ISP maintains and disseminates Illinois criminal history record
information only.
Question:
How can I find out if a person is a registered sex offender?
Answer:
To determine if the subject of your inquiry is a registered sex offender,
please check the Illinois State Police Registered Sex Offender Information
web site at www.isp.state.il.us.
Question:
Is my inquiry checked against the FBI’s national criminal history
database?
Answer:
No, ISP is not permitted to check the FBI’s national criminal history
database for non-criminal justice purposes.
Question:
Does the law require that I obtain the applicant’s signature and forward it
to the BOI?
Answer:
If the inquiry is for employment or licensing purposes, you are required to
obtain a signed release from the applicant and maintain it on file for at
least two years. The release is not to be forwarded to the BOI. It should be
maintained in your files.
Question:
If I include a certain dollar amount as required in the user’s agreement and
my estimate is inaccurate, am I obliged to submit that volume of inquiries
to the BOI?
Answer:
No. The figure provided in the user’s agreement is merely an estimate and
is needed for planning purposes. The estimate is also necessary to
comply with the rules and regulations governing ISP contractual
agreements.
Question:
Regarding healthcare background checks, for what position titles am I
required to submit a UCIA inquiry?
Answer:
Questions regarding position titles covered by the Health Care Worker
Background Check Act, changes in the law effective January 1, 1997, the
waiver process, and accessing the nurse=s aid registry, etc., should be
forwarded to the Illinois Department of Public Health.

Question:
I need to know the definition of a response I received via e-mail.
Answer:
Please note that all of your response definitions such as pending or multihit are located with the instruction packet you received when signing up for
the FeeSub program. See pages 2 and 3 of your enrollment instructions.
I want to change our e-mail address. How do I do that?
Question:
Answer:
Please list the new e-mail address and your ORI on agency letterhead and
fax the information to (815) 740-4401. Include any individual’s name you
may have spoken to.
Question:
I want to know the balance of my account.
Answer:
The Customer Support Staff will forward your call to the Fiscal Unit. They
will assist you with your inquiry.
Question:
Some of my employees need to be fingerprinted. How do I do that and
where do I get the fingerprint card?
Answer:
The Illinois State Police can mail you out a supply of fingerprint cards.
Please call our Store Clerk at (815) 740-5216, indicating the number of
cards you require, your agency name, and address. Currently, the city of
Chicago will not fingerprint on the Conviction Information Request
fingerprint card. Customers are instructed to go to any local police
department or sheriff’s office outside the city. Call the agency first to
discover any requirements they may have for fingerprinting, such as
charging a fee or residency requirements. You may also check the phone
directory for a listing under Fingerprinting. The Illinois State Police charges
a $14.00 fee to process the Conviction Information Request fingerprint
card.
Question:
If I am submitting my background checks to your agency electronically,
how will I supply a copy of an e-mail to my employee?
Answer:
The Illinois State Police does not have a standard form to supply your
employee with a copy of their background check. Your agency will need to
create a procedure for this. Many agencies type a brief statement on their
letterhead for the employee, while others simply cut and paste our e-mail
and submit that to the employee.
- 64 -
Question:
If I submit an electronic background check and receive a record response
in the mail, what are the procedures if the employee denies the record
belongs to them?
Answer:
You or the employee can initiate a fingerprint based search by submitting
a Conviction Information Request fingerprint card to our agency. The
response will then be based on a positive identification of fingerprints.
Question:
Can you deduct the cost of submitting fingerprint searches from my
modem account?
Answer:
Yes. You must make sure that your ORI is placed on the top portion of
your fingerprint card submission for proper processing. Failure to do so
could cause a delay in the processing time.
