Because the Cook County Clerk's Office wants to prevent fraudulent or unwanted cancellations of existing
Property Fraud Alerts, we thank you for completing the following steps to ensure your identity.
1. The alert may be canceled only by the person in whose name it was created.
2. If not canceled in person (with ID) at our Recording Fraud Unit, located at 118 N. Clark, Room 120, Chicago, the
affidavit below will need to be completed by the person in whose name the alert is registered, and notarized.
3. To cancel in person, please schedule an appointment by calling our Recording Fraud Unit at (312) 603-4000.
You will need to complete the information below in the presence of a staff member and show ID.
4. If canceling by mail, you must fill out the form below and sign it in the presence of a notary, who should complete
their section below and affix their official notary stamp to the document. Please include a legible copy of your
state-issued ID, along with the original of this form, and mail (or hand deliver) to: Cook County Clerk's Office
Recording Fraud Unit, 118 N. Clark St, Room 120, Chicago IL 60602.
