General Information:
Mail/Fax Requests
CIB will accept paper requests either by mail or fax.
All requests will be returned by mail. Customers wishing
to fax requests must provide CIB with a supply of
self-addressed, stamped return envelopes.
Use form
DJ-LE-250
to request a criminal background check on a single
individual. Use form
DJ-LE-250A
to request background checks on multiple persons.
Wisconsin Statutes 19.35(1) and 165.82 provide that any
person or entity may request a criminal background check.
The subject of the inquiry may be any person. Wisconsin
adult criminal history data held by the Crime Information
Bureau is public information. Wisconsin does not release
juvenile information unless statutorily authorized.
The Wisconsin Criminal History Record Request must
provide:
(1) Requestor Type. Check the box for
your requestor type. If you are a nonprofit
organization, you must include your nonprofit
number. If you are a state public defender, you
must include your SPD number.
(2) Request Purpose. Check the General
Information box unless you need the special
processing described below. Requests received
without a request purpose checked will be
processed as general information. Caregiver
Background Check processing should be used by
entities or individuals required to do caregiver
background checks under s. 50.065, and child care
entities under s. 48.685. The caregiver background
check includes a Wisconsin criminal background
check, a license and registry check from the
Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services
(DHFS) and a professional credential check from
the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and
Licensing (DRL). The results of the caregiver
background check from DHFS/DRL are returned
separately from the Wisconsin criminal history
results. Child day care providers with day care
facility numbers (assigned by the Division of
Children and Family Services in DHFS) or with
certifying agency numbers (assigned by the
Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development(DWD))
must check the Child Day Care box and
provide their facility or agency number. All other
entities and individuals covered by the Caregiver
legislation must check the Caregiver Background
Check General box.
(3) Payment Type. Wisconsin s. 165.82
requires CIB to charge a fee for background
checks. If appropriate, include DHFS Caregiver fee
in Amount Enclosed. If you have an account and
wish to be billed, enter your account number.
Account customers will be billed monthly. A check
or money order must accompany all other requests.
Make checks payable to the Wisconsin Department of
Justice.
(4) Enter the complete name, sex, race, and
date of birth of the individual being checked.
Entry of social security number is optional, but
please be aware that this number is one of the
unique identifiers used by the Crime Information
Bureau and by the Department of Health and Family
Services. Social Security numbers help prevent
incorrect matches.
(5) A self-addressed, postage-paid envelope
must accompany every inquiry. Ensure sufficient
postage is included. This form will be returned
and stamped No Record if there is no public
criminal information on file at CIB. The form will
be accompanied by public criminal history
information if a record is found. Please allow 10
business days for the CIB record check and
reasonable mailing time by the postal service. Do
not provide an additional envelope for Caregiver
results. General Caregiver results will be
returned to the address specified in the Return
request to section and Child Daycare results
will be returned to the address on file at DHFS or
DWD.
(6) Complete the Return request to
section.
