Compare the available details with the event you are researching.
Record the booking identifier
Save the CFN or other jail identifier shown in the record.
Read every charge separately
One arrest can involve several charges, warrants or holds.

Understand a Martin County jail or arrest result
| Field | What it means | What it does not prove | Best next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| CFN / booking number | Identifier connected to the jail booking. | The criminal court outcome. | Save it for deposits, mail and jail questions. |
| Arrest date | Date associated with the arrest. | The exact offense date or filing date. | Compare with the affidavit and court docket. |
| Booking date | When jail processing occurred. | When the alleged conduct happened. | Use it to separate multiple custody events. |
| Charge | An allegation entered during arrest or booking. | That prosecutors filed or proved the offense. | Find the information, complaint or charging document. |
| Bond amount | Current displayed bond associated with a charge or order. | Payment will clear every charge or hold. | Call Booking before arranging payment. |
| Release date | End of the listed jail custody episode. | Dismissal or acquittal. | Check the criminal case disposition. |
| Arrest affidavit | Probable-cause narrative associated with the arrest. | That every allegation was accepted by prosecutors. | Compare with formal court charges. |
| Mugshot | Booking photograph when publicly available. | Guilt, conviction or identity by itself. | Match stronger identifiers. |
Do not confuse two people with the same name
First and last name match
Middle name, alias or suffix is consistent
Date of birth or age is consistent
Arrest date matches the known event
CFN or booking number matches
Arresting agency matches the location
Court case follows the same arrest
Charge dates and descriptions line up
Use at least two independent identifiers. Never rely only on a name or booking photograph before publishing an allegation, sending money or treating a record as belonging to a specific person.
No Martin County arrest found? Check these causes
The arrest happened very recently
Booking, identity verification and data publication can take time.
You searched only current inmates
A person already released may no longer appear in the live custody search.
The arrest occurred within the last 10 days
Check the separate Recent Bookings report.
The arrest is older than 10 days
Contact the Sheriff Records Unit and search the criminal court case.
The name differs
Try the surname alone, aliases, maiden names, suffixes and alternate spelling.
The person was cited but not jailed
A court case can exist without a Martin County Jail booking.
The arrest happened elsewhere
Search the county where custody occurred rather than the person’s residence.
The record is protected
Juvenile, victim-related, sealed, expunged or otherwise confidential data may not be displayed.
Missing-booking call script
I am trying to confirm the booking or release status of [full legal name], date of birth [date], for an arrest around [date]. I have CFN / booking number [number] and case number [number] if applicable. Can you confirm whether the person is currently held, released, transferred or listed under another identifier?

Confirm the correct person
Have the legal name, date of birth and CFN available.
List every active charge
One booking can contain multiple bond conditions.
Ask about holds
An outside warrant, court order or other hold can prevent release after one bond is satisfied.

Reading-material caution
The Sheriff’s current mail page contains overlapping language: it states that effective January 1, 2025 the jail will no longer accept books from outside sources, while another paragraph describes publisher/approved-vendor reading material. Confirm the current rule with Corrections before buying or mailing a book.
The same official page clearly limits reading materials to a maximum of three combined items and prohibits hardback books, sexually explicit material, gang material, escape instructions and content that threatens facility security.

What commissary can include
Certain clothing items
Greeting cards
Limited over-the-counter medicine
Personal hygiene items
Postage stamps
Radios
Snack items
Approved iCare packages where available
Know which phone provider instruction is current
The Sheriff’s current Corrections services page identifies HomeWAV for voice calling and remote video visitation.
An older section of the jail mail page still references GTL for inmate billing issues. For a new communication account, start with the current HomeWAV instruction; use the older GTL number only when resolving an existing legacy billing/block issue.
Inmate telephone access is published for approximately 9:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m. daily. Inmates make outgoing calls; ordinary incoming calls to housing phones are not provided.
Treat non-attorney jail calls as non-confidential. Do not discuss sensitive defense strategy or facts of a pending criminal case on an ordinary personal call.
Have an inmate release property before arriving at the jail
Martin County allows necessary release of personal property or money through internal inmate request forms.
The inmate initiates the request
The inmate completes the applicable Property Release, Money Release Request or Money Transfer Request.
Submit it at least 24 hours ahead
Do not arrive expecting an immediate unrequested property release.
Check outstanding jail debt
The Sheriff states that inmate money will not be released until applicable debt such as medical or subsistence fees is satisfied.
Plan carefully
Only one property/money release is permitted during an incarceration under the published guideline.
Apply for the Martin County Public Defender
Martin County Clerk states that a defendant seeking Public Defender services must complete a financial affidavit for each case. The current published application fee is $50 per case/application.
Ask for a Public Defender at court
Eligibility depends on the court’s indigency determination.
Obtain the financial affidavit
The Martin County Clerk Criminal Division provides the application.
Complete one application for each case
Separate criminal case numbers may require separate affidavits and fees.
Provide truthful financial information
The Clerk determines eligibility for appointment.
Pay or address the $50 application fee
Ask the Clerk how the fee applies in the specific case.

Use Florida DOC after a state-prison transfer
Use Florida DOC when
- The person has been transferred into state prison custody.
- You need the state facility or DOC identifier.
- You need state-prison rather than county-jail information.
Do not use Florida DOC alone for
- A brand-new Martin County arrest.
- Current county pretrial detention.
- The arrest affidavit.
- The certified court judgment.
Open the Florida Department of Corrections public site
Use the Offender Search option provided by FDC.
Open Florida Department of Corrections
Search by DOC number when known
A correctional identifier is safer than a common name.
Record the current institution
State-prison mail and visitation procedures depend on the institution.
Return to the Martin County judgment for legal proof
A prison locator does not replace the court disposition.
Use FDLE when Martin County records are not enough
Public Florida check
- Public name-based Florida criminal-history search.
- Current FDLE statutory fee: $24.
- Immediate online search option available.
- Use careful identity verification before relying on a same-name result.
Personal Review
- Used for your own Florida criminal history.
- No FDLE fee.
- Fingerprint based.
- Allows you to review and challenge inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Not designed as an employment or licensing certified check.
Personal Review micro-steps
Download the FDLE Personal Review application
This process is only for your own record or through your designated attorney.
Have fingerprints taken
Fingerprints must be taken by a law-enforcement or criminal-justice agency.
Mail the application and fingerprint card
FDLE does not charge for the Personal Review itself.
Compare every arrest and disposition
Match the Martin County court case against the statewide history.
Challenge inaccurate or incomplete information
Use the supporting Martin County court or agency documents.
Correct an inaccurate Martin County or FDLE record
Identify which system contains the error
Compare the jail record, Sheriff report, Clerk disposition and FDLE criminal history.
Save the incorrect entry
Record the name, CFN, arrest date, charge and court case number.
Obtain the controlling proof
Examples include a corrected police report, certified dismissal, judgment or disposition.
Correct Martin County source data first
Contact Sheriff Records when MCSO booking or police data is incorrect.
Correct court information through the Clerk/court
A final disposition is controlled by the criminal court record.
Use FDLE Personal Review for statewide errors
The fingerprint-supported process allows the record subject to challenge inaccurate or incomplete Florida history.
Recheck every database
A correction in one system may take time to appear in another.
Correction is not expungement. Correct a record when it is factually wrong. Seek sealing or expungement when an accurate record qualifies for statutory relief.
Seal or expunge an eligible Martin County arrest record
A dismissed case does not automatically disappear from every Florida criminal-history system. Court-ordered sealing or expungement has a specific FDLE eligibility and court-filing process.
Sealed record
The general public loses ordinary access, but certain governmental and legally authorized entities can still access the record under Florida law.
Expunged record
Access is more restricted; many authorized entities are informed that a criminal history record was expunged rather than receiving the underlying material without legal authority.
Standard FDLE Certificate of Eligibility packet
Fully completed application
Application signed before notary or deputy clerk
Certified disposition for each listed case/charge
Fingerprint card completed by authorized criminal-justice personnel
Prosecutor-certified statement for expunction applications
Proof of probation termination when applicable
Diversion completion proof when applicable

Save your records before starting
FDLE strongly recommends keeping arrest reports, certified dispositions and later court orders.

Open FDLE Certificate instructions
Complete arrest information
Include arresting agency, arrest date and each charge.
Obtain the prosecutor statement for expunction
The appropriate State Attorney or statewide prosecutor completes the required certified statement.
Have fingerprints taken
An authorized law-enforcement or criminal-justice agency must complete the fingerprint card.
Pay the $75 FDLE fee
FDLE accepts the listed check or money-order methods and does not accept cash for the Certificate application.
Wait for FDLE eligibility review
FDLE currently states that eligibility processing is typically about 12 weeks after a complete packet is received and is not expedited.
Do not stop at the Certificate
The Certificate only confirms statutory eligibility to petition. It does not itself seal or expunge the record.
File in the proper Martin County court
Use the Certificate, petition, affidavit and other required documents.
Obtain the signed court order
Relief does not occur until the court grants it and the proper agencies receive the order.
Verify the updates
Recheck the Clerk, Sheriff and FDLE after processing.
