Our History
Record Information Services, Inc., founded in 1993, was created with the purpose of providing Illinois businesses with timely and complete public record data. In the company’s origins, printed paper reports were mailed to clients in the industries of banking, legal, credit, and several other financial industries who wished to either look for new business opportunities or to see if current clients were facing financial difficulties. Clients subscribed to weekly public record newsletters, which included information gathered from public records such as bankruptcies, lawsuits, divorces, and foreclosures. Over the years, with the transfer of data to the internet, the diversity of Record Information Services’ clients expanded widely to include many others who wished to farm public record leads for marketing opportunities. The desire for different types of data has grown as well, and we now offer 18 different types of public record databases on our websites. With the introduction of a consumer background check website, CheckIllinois we now cater to businesses and private consumers alike. As a custom public records data compiler, we take pride in our ability to provide multiple web-based BIG DATA solutions to meet our client’s specific needs.
