This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, retrieve official booking records, or act for Stearns County or Minnesota DOC.
Official Offices and Records
Use the custodian-specific office below. Provide a full name, approximate booking or release date, and a JCA, booking, offender, or case number if known. Office hours should be confirmed directly before an in-person visit.

Choose the route that matches the need:
- For a Stearns jail release or transfer record, use Sheriff Records; the home page explains the full request fields.
- For local probation or assigned supervision, contact Stearns Community Corrections.
- For a state prisoner or state supervised-release record, use the Minnesota DOC Locator and Records Management.
- For recent county releases, remember that Stearns provides a person search, not a complete chronological daily feed.
- For a county jail custody alert, call Minnesota VINE at 877-664-8463; state-prison notifications use DOC Haven.
- For federal prison or immigration custody, use the BOP Locator or ICE ODLS and the appropriate federal records process.
Juvenile detention questions use 320-259-3760 and remain subject to Minnesota confidentiality law. A warrant list is not custody proof; Stearns warrant confirmation is 320-259-3955 during business hours, with after-hours location reports at 320-251-4240.
