The Illinois Order for Redaction of Social Security Numbers is an order from the Illinois Supreme Court that requires all Social Security Numbers (SSNs) to be redacted, or removed, from any documents filed in or issued by any court in the state. This applies to all documents in both electronic and physical form. The purpose of the Order is to protect the privacy of individuals whose SSNs are present in court documents. There are three types of Illinois Order for Redaction of Social Security Numbers: 1. Mandatory Redaction Order: This Order requires that all SSNs be redacted from court documents. 2. Limited Redaction Order: This Order requires that only certain SSNs be redacted from court documents. This is typically used when a party or other person has a legitimate need to access the SSN in the document. 3. Exemption Order: This Order exempts certain documents from the redaction process. This is typically used when a party or other person has a legitimate need to access the SSN in the document.
