Illinois Release and Authorization is a legal document used to grant permission for a third party to access an individual's personal or financial information. This document can be used for a variety of purposes, such as authorizing employers to conduct a background check, allowing credit bureaus to access a credit report, or permitting a bank to verify an individual's financial information. There are three types of Illinois Release and Authorization: 1) Authorization for Disclosure of Information, which allows the release of specific information to a third party; 2) Authorization to Obtain Credit Report, which allows the release of an individual's credit report to a third party; and 3) Authorization to Release Tax Information, which grants permission for a third party to access an individual's tax information. All Illinois Release and Authorization documents must be signed and dated by the individual granting permission.
