Registering

If you have never visited here, you can go directly to the Peoria County Sheriff’s website and register as a new visitor.  After you register you will be able to schedule your own visits. To schedule visits, go to the website to register.

If you have visited here previously and would like the ability to schedule visits online, you must first give a Reception Clerk your valid email address.  The visiting system will then email you a generated password.  To have a password reset, contact a Records Clerk during normal business hours.
