St Lucie County FL Arrest Records Search | Jail & Court
St. Lucie County, Florida · Fort Pierce & Port St. Lucie jail, arrest and criminal case records
Follow a St. Lucie County Arrest From Booking to the Final Court Result
The Sheriff’s inmate database is the fastest starting point for a new arrest, but it is not the final criminal record. A booking can later lead to different charges, dismissal, diversion, plea, conviction or acquittal.
This guide connects the jail record to arrest affidavits, police reports, bond, warrants, Clerk court cases, visitation, inmate communication, defense help, Florida criminal history and record sealing.

INMATE LOOKUP
Is the person in jail?
Search current incarceration, recent release, today’s bookings and jail identity information.
Best first step after a recent arrest.
ARREST AFFIDAVIT
Why was the person arrested?
The arrest affidavit describes the officer’s probable-cause allegations.
It is still an allegation—not a disposition.
AGENCY REPORT
What did investigators document?
Request the incident or arrest report from the law-enforcement agency that created it.
Sheriff, Fort Pierce Police and Port St. Lucie Police records are separate.
CLERK CASE
What happened in court?
Find formal charges, dates, documents, pleas, dismissal, judgment and sentence.
This is the key final-outcome record.
FDLE
Need statewide history?
Use FDLE for Florida criminal-history records beyond St. Lucie County.
Personal Review is available for your own fingerprint-based record.Search current St. Lucie County Jail inmates

Start with a partial first or last name
The system accepts partial-name searches.
Use % in the last-name field to display all inmates
This is useful when spelling or identity is uncertain.
Use Today’s Bookings for a brand-new arrest
Select the current-day booking filter instead of searching the full population.
Open every plausible result
Do not rely on the first person with a matching name.
Match date of birth and inmate ID
These are stronger identifiers than a photograph alone.
Record the arresting agency
This determines which agency holds the incident/arrest report.
Read each booking offense
Check charge description, status and bond separately.
Record booking and release information
Release from jail does not mean the criminal case was dismissed.
Continue to the Clerk court search
Use the court file to determine what prosecutors filed and how the case ended.
Open Court Case Search
Search-window advantage: St. Lucie County’s jail search keeps inmates searchable through five days after release, making it more useful than systems that remove a person immediately after discharge.
Use three different views for a recent St. Lucie County arrest
Today’s Bookings
Use the filter inside Inmate Lookup when the arrest occurred today.
Search today’s bookings
Arrest affidavits
Use the Sheriff’s Daily Arrest Information page for affidavits generated by the Sheriff’s Office.
Open daily arrest information
Five-day releases
Use the release report when the person no longer appears as actively incarcerated.
Open recent release report
Different arresting agency? The Sheriff states that it posts arrest affidavits made by its own agency. If Fort Pierce Police, Port St. Lucie Police, Florida Highway Patrol or another agency made the arrest, obtain that agency’s report directly.
What the jail result tells you—and what it cannot prove
| Field | What it means | What it does not prove | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmate ID | The jail’s identifier for the person. | Final criminal outcome. | Save it for visits, mail and account services. |
| Booking date/time | When the person entered jail processing. | The exact offense date. | Compare with arrest affidavit and court filing. |
| Arresting agency | The law-enforcement agency tied to the arrest. | That the Sheriff wrote every report. | Request police documents from that agency. |
| Charge description | The allegation entered at booking. | What the State Attorney eventually prosecuted. | Compare with the formal court charge. |
| Status | Current booking/custody status for that entry. | The legal merits of the case. | Read the newest court docket. |
| Bond amount | The amount shown for the listed charge. | That payment guarantees immediate release. | Check every charge and outside hold. |
| Released | The jail custody event ended. | Dismissal, acquittal or innocence. | Find the court disposition. |
| Booking photo | A jail identification photograph when publicly displayed. | Guilt or even identity by itself. | Match DOB, ID and court information. |
The Sheriff’s general inmate-information page states that booking photos displayed through the website are available for people incarcerated at the time of the query. A separately requested booking photo is listed on the Sheriff records fee schedule at $5.
Verify the person before treating the result as their arrest
First and last name match
Middle name/suffix is consistent
Date of birth matches
Inmate ID is recorded
Booking date fits the known event
Arresting agency fits the incident
Court case has the same defendant/event
Final disposition belongs to that same case
Do not identify a person from a name or mugshot alone. Use at least two independent identifiers before publishing an accusation, sending money or making a consequential decision.
No inmate found? Use the reason that fits the situation
The booking is still processing
Search again later and check Today’s Bookings.
The name is spelled differently
Use only a partial first or last name.
The person was released within five days
The same inmate lookup can still return recent releases.
The release is older
Use Court Case Search, a Sheriff background check or a records request.
The person received a notice to appear
A criminal court case may exist even without a current jail booking.
Another agency made the arrest
The incident report may be with Fort Pierce Police, Port St. Lucie Police, FHP or another agency.
The person transferred to state custody
Search Florida Department of Corrections after a prison transfer.
The record is confidential or sealed
Juvenile and legally restricted records may not appear publicly.

It is safer than a common-name search.
Return to the Clerk for legal proof
FDC custody information is not a certified conviction document.
Choose between a $24 public search and free Personal Review
Public Florida search
- $24 per search.
- Instant search adds a $1 card-processing fee.
- Instant results are not certified.
- Can be used to search publicly available Florida history for another person.
Personal Review
- For your own Florida criminal record.
- Fingerprint based.
- No FDLE processing fee.
- Allows review/challenge of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- May take up to 30 working days.
- Not a certified employment/licensing/immigration record.
FDLE’s staff-processed certified/non-certified search also costs $24. Current published processing is about five business days for non-certified results and six to seven business days for certified results, before mail-delivery time.
Fix the source of an inaccurate St. Lucie County arrest record
Identify which system contains the error
Compare Sheriff jail data, arresting-agency report, Clerk case and FDLE history.
Save the disputed identifiers
Record inmate ID, report number, arrest date and court case number.
Correct the law-enforcement source first when necessary
A police-report error belongs with the agency that created the report.
Correct court information through the Clerk/court
Obtain an amended or certified disposition when the judicial record is incorrect or incomplete.
Use FDLE Personal Review to inspect the statewide record
Fingerprint matching helps confirm the correct Florida criminal history.
Challenge inaccurate/incomplete FDLE information
Follow the instructions returned with Personal Review or contact FDLE Criminal History Record Maintenance.
Recheck every affected system
A correction in one database does not always instantly update another.
Correction is not sealing. Correction fixes inaccurate information. Sealing or expungement restricts an accurate record that meets Florida eligibility rules.
Seal or expunge an eligible St. Lucie County criminal record
A dismissal does not automatically erase an arrest record. Adult Florida criminal history remains public unless another law provides automatic relief or a qualifying sealing/expungement process is completed.
FDLE fee
$75 nonrefundable Certificate of Eligibility processing fee.
FDLE timeline
Typically about 12 weeks after a complete packet arrives.
Local court filing

The fingerprint card must include your identifying information and the signature/ORI or stamp of the official taking the prints.
Use the Sheriff’s seal/expunge fingerprint service when convenient
Current fee is $26 and fingerprinting is by appointment.
Schedule Sheriff fingerprints
Include the $75 FDLE payment
FDLE accepts a qualifying money order, cashier’s check or personal check—not cash, gift cards or temporary checks.
Wait for FDLE’s eligibility decision
A Certificate of Eligibility only permits you to petition the court; it does not itself seal or expunge the record.
Complete the St. Lucie petition and affidavit
The Clerk provides a Petition to Seal and Expunge form after the FDLE certificate is issued.
File through the St. Lucie Criminal Department
The current Clerk fee schedule lists $42 for a criminal sealing/expungement filing.
Attend a hearing if required
The judge retains discretion even after FDLE finds statutory eligibility.
Keep certified copies of the final order
FDLE strongly recommends preserving the arrest report, certified disposition and sealing/expungement order before access becomes restricted.
Verify the order was processed
Relief is not complete at FDLE until the agency receives the certified court order.
Under the standard Florida court-ordered process, FDLE states that a person is generally entitled to one court-ordered sealing or expungement in a lifetime under the applicable statutes.
