4-15-08:  Effective immediately, the following changes have been made to ICHAT:

• Social security numbers and driver's license numbers will no longer be used.  Many users were confused by how those items affected the search process.
• Users will now have to verify their data is correct before submitting it.  If a user submits inaccurate data (such as a duplicate search, a misspelled name or wrong gender) they should correct it before checking out of the shopping cart.
• Additional text changes

The Internet Criminal History Access Tool (ICHAT) allows the search of public records contained in the Michigan Criminal History Record maintained by the Michigan State Police, Criminal Justice Information Center.  All felonies and serious misdemeanors that are punishable by over 93 days are required to be reported to the state repository by law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and courts in all 83 Michigan counties.

Suppressed records and warrant information are not available through ICHAT.  Also not included are federal records, tribal records, and criminal history from other states.  A search for a record that may be in another state requires that that you correspond with that state directly.

Anyone can perform a search through ICHAT.  At a minimum, the full name of the person and his/her date of birth is required.  A fee of $10 is charged for each search.

If this is your first time using the Internet Criminal History Access Tool (ICHAT), please select "Register"; otherwise select "Login" to proceed with a record search.

ICHAT accepts MasterCard, Visa, and Discover cards:
