For all those conducting criminal background checks in Wisconsin as part of their employment screening program, please be aware that the state has added fees to both it’s statewide criminal search and the country criminal records search for Portage County.
Portage, WI is in the process of changing their predominately used index to a new operating system. As a result, requests must be processed through the court clerks until this conversion is complete.
The fee will be an additional $5.00 per for both the statewide criminal and the Portage County Criminal Search.
