This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that matches the Calhoun County record:
- Court files: Circuit Clerk, 101 N. County Road, Hardin, IL 62047; 618-576-2451 ext. 1
- Sheriff records: 301 S. County Road, Hardin, IL 62047; 618-576-2417
- County FOIA requests: FOIA Officer Lucas J. Fanning, 101 N. County Road; 618-576-9013
- State criminal history: Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification
- Incident reports: the law-enforcement agency that created the report
- Expungement and sealing: the Circuit Court that handled the case
The Sheriff is listed as open 24 hours at 301 S. County Road. The Circuit Clerk page explicitly lists Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., but does not clearly publish Monday through Thursday hours, so call before traveling. Written county FOIA requests may be delivered, mailed, emailed, or faxed; the form is optional.
