Official Vermilion County criminal records must come from the government office that created or keeps them. The contacts below route court files to the Circuit Clerk at the courthouse in Danville and local arrest, booking, or jail material to the Sheriff's Office at the Public Safety Building. Illinois State Police handles central-repository conviction information and personal record review. This private site cannot retrieve, certify, change, or file a record, but these verified office details identify where a direct request should begin.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference cannot run an official check, obtain a record, correct an entry, or accept an expungement or sealing filing.

Match the question to its custodian. Court and sheriff records are held at separate Danville offices, while the Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification maintains the state repository.

For an agency incident or arrest report, direct an Illinois Freedom of Information Act request to the agency that holds it.
