Someone was arrested within the last few hours?

Search with the last name first. If no result appears, confirm whether Orlando Police, Orange County Sheriff or another city agency made the arrest, allow time for intake and call Inmate Records at 407-836-3400. Do not pay anyone who contacts you unexpectedly and guarantees immediate release.

An arrest is not a conviction. The current inmate database confirms that a person is listed in custody and may show booking details. Use the court record to check what prosecutors filed and how the case was resolved.

How to Search the Orange County Current Inmate Database

The official Orange County Corrections database lists people currently in jail and can display charges, bond amounts and booking photographs. Inclusion does not establish guilt.

Open the official Current Inmate Database Use the Orange County Corrections inmate search, not a commercial people-search form.

Enter the last name The surname is required. Leave the first-name field blank when spelling or the complete legal name is uncertain.

Add the first name only when needed Use fewer letters or a common variation if the full name returns no match.

Open the likely inmate record Compare the photograph, middle name, age, booking date, booking number and listed charges.

Read each charge and bond separately One booking can contain several cases, bonds or holds. Do not rely only on the first amount shown.

Record the booking number The booking number makes bond, VINE, visitation, mail, phone and money-account tasks easier.

Call when information is unclear Contact Inmate Records Management at 407-836-3400.

No result? Do not fill every field. Try the surname alone, remove punctuation, check a former surname and confirm whether the person is in a municipal, neighboring-county, juvenile, state or federal facility.

Identity check

Make Sure the Orange County Booking Belongs to the Right Person

Compare the complete first, middle and last name.

Check the booking photograph carefully.

Compare age or date-of-birth information.

Confirm the booking date fits the expected arrest.

Note the arresting agency and case number.

Use the booking number for later calls.

Compare the criminal court case after filing.

Do not identify someone from a name-only match.

Release processing

How to check bond

Open the inmate record Find the booking number, each charge, each bond amount and any hold.

Open the First Appearance List Use the official daily list to see whether the person is scheduled or recently appeared.

Check every case and hold Posting one bond may not produce release when another charge, warrant or hold remains.

Confirm the current payment method Review the official bonding instructions or call 407-836-3400.

Post bond at the correct location Orange County directs bond posting to the Booking and Release Center at 3855 S. John Young Parkway.

Ask about release processing A paid bond is not an exact release time. Verification, paperwork, other holds and internal movement can delay departure.

Court verification

How to Search Orange County Florida Criminal Court Records

My eClerk provides docket information for most cases filed from approximately 1990 forward. Many documents are available online for cases from 2009 forward, although access depends on the record and legal restrictions.

Open My eClerk Court Records Search Go to the official case-search page.

Select Criminal Case Records Use Criminal rather than Civil, Family, Probate or Traffic unless the case type indicates otherwise.

Search by name or case number Enter fewer criteria first. Add the filing period when a common name creates too many results.

Open the correct case Compare the defendant name, case type, filing date and case number with the booking information.

Read the register of actions Check filed charges, hearings, pleas, continuances, disposition and sentencing entries.

Register for event reminders The Clerk promotes Florida E-Notify for text or email reminders about court events.

Contact the Clerk when needed Call 407-836-2000 or visit the Criminal Division for official record and payment questions.

Notifications

Register for Orange County Custody and Release Alerts

Find the booking number Orange County recommends using the booking number when possible.

Open the county VINE page Use the official Orange County VINE guidance.

The person is still being booked.

A city agency is temporarily holding the person.

The name is spelled differently or uses an alias.

The person was released before you searched.

The person transferred to another county.

The person entered state or federal custody.

The matter involves a juvenile record.

The record is sealed, expunged or restricted.

The court case has not yet been filed.

Do not drive to the jail for every records question. Court documents belong with the Clerk, sheriff reports belong with the arresting agency and former-inmate records belong with the Corrections records custodian.

Privacy and correction

Seal, Expunge or Correct an Orange County Arrest Record

Obtain the certified court disposition Search My eClerk, then request the certified document from the Orange County Clerk when needed.

Identify the source of an error A booking error may belong to Corrections, an incident-report error to the arresting agency and a disposition error to the Clerk or reporting court.

Apply to FDLE for eligibility Florida generally requires an FDLE Certificate of Eligibility before a person petitions the court to seal or expunge a qualifying record.

Download the Orange County packet After receiving the certificate, use the Clerk’s sealing and expungement guidance.

File the required documents The Clerk lists the petition, affidavit, FDLE certificate and proposed order among the required documents.

Serve the required parties Send copies to the prosecutor and arresting agency as directed and keep a complete copy.

Follow up after the court order A certificate is not the final relief. Confirm that the signed court order reaches the agencies responsible for updating the record.

FDLE Seal and Expunge Section: Review the official eligibility and application process.

Internet removal is separate. Sealing or expunging an official record does not automatically remove every old copy from private websites or search-engine caches.
