This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible government office for those services.
Official Offices for Records and Custody

These are County Board office hours. They are not confirmed hours for the Sheriff or jail records desk.
Use the following route based on the question:
- For a booking record or photograph, use the home-page request guide and submit a narrow request to the county or arresting police department.
- For possible warrant status, use Sheriff's Most Wanted, then verify through the Clerk or Sheriff.
- For a recent arrest, release status, or absent public roster, follow the county booking and records fallback on the home page.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Illinois Department of Corrections Individual in Custody Search.
- For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator; for immigration detention, use the ICE detainee locator.
- For a later charge or disposition, contact the Vermilion County Circuit Clerk rather than relying on a booking lead.
- For visitation, follow the Sheriff's Securus instructions. A visitation account is not a custody search.
