Use for live custody, booking number, bond and first-appearance planning.
ARRESTING AGENCY

Micro-step inmate search
How to search current Orange County arrest records
Open the official Current Inmate Database
Use the Orange County Corrections search rather than an unofficial mugshot or people-search page.
Open the official inmate database
Enter the last name
A last name is required. Begin with the surname only to avoid excluding a result because of a first-name variation.
Add the first name when necessary
The first name is optional. Add it only when the surname produces too many results.
Open every possible match
Do not assume the first matching name belongs to the person you are researching.
Verify the person
Compare the date of birth, booking number, booking date, physical identifiers and booking photograph when available.
Read every charge line
One booking can include several charges, warrants or holds with different bond entries.
Record the bond information
Write down the bond type and amount attached to each charge.
Save the booking number
The booking number is needed for mail, money, visitation, records and inmate-service questions.
Search the criminal court case
The jail result does not show the final prosecution or disposition.
Open My eClerk
Orange County says the database refreshes every 30 minutes. New information normally appears within 30 minutes after entry into the inmate-management system.

Clearly identify the disputed entry and requested correction.
Recheck each system
A correction in one government database may not automatically update another.
