This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the public office that holds the record or has custody of the person.
Stearns County Record Contacts
The Sheriff's Office and jail use different channels for written data requests and time-sensitive custody questions. The county does not publish consistent counter hours for every division, so call ahead to confirm current hours, delivery options, and any copy charge.

For a booking record or photograph, make a focused written request through the Stearns County submission hub or the records contact above. Include a name, relevant date, and JCA number when known. For an adult shown in custody, start with the official roster before calling.
- Use the current jail roster for an adult currently shown in Stearns County custody.
- Use the past-inmate search for prior Stearns County Jail custody within its stated seven-year online period.
- Use the county records reference for the official booking-photo request path, court follow-up, and a reminder that booking allegations are not convictions.
- For an active warrant question, use the Sheriff's official warrant channel described on Wanted Fugitives; the county lists warrant questions at 320-259-3955 during business hours.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or a person under state supervision, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections Offender Locator, not the county roster.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
