Fingerprinting

North Cook ISC provides fingerprint-based Criminal History Records Information (CHRI) checks through the Illinois State Police and the FBI for educators. Appointments last for approximately 20-30 minutes. Background checks are usually processed within a week, but in rare cases, results can take as long as eight weeks.

These services are ONLY available to educators that will be working at a North Cook school district.  View the list of North Cook Districts.
