The office of the DuPage County Circuit Clerk is committed to making our website accessible. “Accessible” means that all individuals, regardless of their abilities, can access our electronic and information technology fully, independently, and in a timely manner or with substantially equivalent access or ease of use. The office of the Circuit Clerk is continuously working to remove access barriers and to comply with accessibility standards, using Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 Level AA, as its guiding principle. As we create new website enhancements, the principles of accessible design and development are an integral part of conception and realization.

We continually evaluate content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and do our best to remediate any issues and meet or exceed the standards. Some content on our website, including legacy content and third-party systems not controlled by our office may not be fully compliant. Our internal Circuit Clerk IT staff and consulting accessibility experts review digital content with a variety of tools to audit and assess compliance and continuously work to ensure compliance with WCAG standards.

We are currently undergoing significant changes to ensure our digital content and services are accessible to everyone, including:

• Policy changes: New policy and process standards apply to all webpages and electronic forms to support accessibility.
• Education: Our staff is receiving training to support the webpages and electronic forms. This ensures that we understand and properly implement accessibility concepts.
• Use of AI: We partner with AccessiBe, an accessibility platform leveraging AI tools to monitor and convert web content for myriad users with different abilities.
• Regular audits and remediation: We do not just rely on internal expertise or website widgets – we also contract with third-party accessibility experts to confirm and verify the compliance efforts.

We welcome user feedback on the accessibility of this website. If you encounter any accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us:
