If you are convinced that the record returned is not that of the individual for which you submitted the inquiry, you may obtain an updated response through the mail.
Any request for a clean record will be verified by the use of a fingerprint. You must submit the Wisconsin Criminal History Single Name Record Request. Included on this request must be a rolled impression of the right index finger. Any local law enforcement agency should be able to help your subject in obtaining this impression. If for some reason, such as injury or amputation the right index finger cannot be used, another finger may be substituted. Please indicate which finger was used on the form.
You should also include the copy of the record you received in response to your initial inquiry along with a cover letter explaining you or someone else is challenging the result of the name search. The fingerprints in this file will be compared against the fingerprint returned on the form. If the fingerprints do not match, the request form will be returned to you stamped NO RECORD. If the fingerprints do match, the form will be stamped CRIMINAL RECORD ATTACHED and will be returned with the original record.
There is no fee for this fingerprint comparison as long as it is requested within six months of the initial inquiry. If not requested within that time period, the normal background check fees apply.
Obtaining a clean record does not remove any information from the criminal record on file at the Department of Justice. The records maintained here are police records and may only be changed pursuant to state statute or with the permission of the submitting agency. Any person needing to go through this procedure to obtain a clean record should be aware that this situation will occur each time a background check is requested.
The Wisconsin Criminal History Single Name Record Request form may be found on our website, www.doj.state.wi.us/dles/cib/forms (see online forms page).
