This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly.
Official Records and Custody Contacts
Choose the office by the record it creates. Booking handles an immediate St. Johns County jail or bond question. SJSO Records handles booking and release documents. The Clerk maintains the criminal case, while the Florida Department of Corrections handles state-prison and state-supervision records.

Use these routes to reach the right record source:
- For a released person or SJSO release document, the home page gives the complete official search and request sequence.
- For post-release state supervision, use Probation & Parole and then verify the assigned FDC office.
- For same-day county release activity, follow Jail Releases: 24 Hours; no official SJSO rolling feed is currently verified.
- For a possible date or alert, compare Projected Release with the specific-person VINELink Inmate Search.
- For a facility-specific issue, select the operating detention facility from the footer and use its official contact route.
- For a sentenced Florida state prisoner, use the FDC offender search or the Bureau of Admission and Release, not the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator; SJSO cannot confirm another agency's custody.
