Official Edwards County records must be requested from the office that created or maintains them. The contacts below route court files to the Circuit Clerk, police reports to the writing agency, statewide history to Illinois State Police, and recent custody questions through the sheriff and receiving jail.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve official records, correct agency data, conduct an official check, or accept a filing.

Need an Official Record?

Use the following official Edwards County and Illinois channels:

  • Court dockets and copies: Edwards County Circuit Clerk, 50 E. Main St., Suite 7, Albion, 618-445-2016, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
  • Sheriff reports and warrant confirmation: Edwards County Sheriff's Office, 50 E. Main St., Albion, 618-445-2721
  • State criminal history: Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification, including Access and Review for one's own record
  • Recent custody: call the Edwards County sheriff first, then the receiving facility; White County is the documented contract jail
  • City police reports: ask Albion, Grayville, or West Salem police or the city clerk channel that holds the report
  • Expungement or sealing filings: use Illinois approved forms and file an Edwards County case with the Circuit Clerk

The sheriff and Circuit Clerk share the courthouse address, but they hold different records. Call the correct office before travel and ask for its current submission method.
