For the fastest records request, include the person's name, date range, location, case or incident number if known, and a clear description of the record. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act allows access to many public records, but juvenile records, active investigations, protected personal information, confidential informant material, and public-safety-sensitive records may be withheld or redacted.
- For someone in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and then call the jail information line if the booking is very recent.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots or request the specific booking record from sheriff records.
- For charges filed after an arrest, check court records after a jail arrest and Indiana MyCase.
- For a detention facility, use the facility pages in the footer and confirm rules with the operator.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, search the Indiana Department of Correction locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
