Frequently Asked Questions

A UCIA fingerprint-based background check provides criminal history information from the State of Illinois. Established under the Uniform Conviction Information Act (UCIA), which took effect in 1991, this background check ensures accurate reporting of conviction records.

How It Works

1. The Illinois State Police (ISP) conducts the background check.
2. ISP mails the results directly to the requesting person or agency.
3. Upon completing the fingerprinting process, the individual receives a computer-generated receipt (TCN#) for reference.

When is a UCIA Fingerprint Required?

A UCIA fingerprint background check is commonly required for:
✔ Employment in regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, and education
✔ Individuals seeking licensure or certification
✔ Those needing a state-level background check for work or travel abroad

Why Choose a Fingerprint-Based Check?

• More  Accurate – A fingerprint-based check is more reliable than a name-based      check, as personal identifiers can sometimes lead to incorrect results.
• Statewide Verification – Ensures a thorough review of Illinois conviction records.
