Corrections and the Sheriff are separate agencies.
Volusia County Corrections operates the jail and inmate search. The Volusia Sheriff’s Office and municipal police departments create arrest and incident reports. An arrest or mugshot does not prove guilt.
Jail updatesOnline inmate information updates about every 15 minutes.

Choose the correct source
One Volusia arrest can create five different records
COUNTY CORRECTIONS
Is the person currently in jail?
Booking number, custody, charges, bond, facility and release information.
Use first for a recent Branch Jail or Correctional Facility admission.
ARRESTING AGENCY
What did officers report?
Incident report, arrest report, probable-cause narrative, calls for service and releasable evidence.
Request it from the agency whose officer made the arrest.
VOLUSIA CLERK
What charge was formally filed?
Complaint, information, amended charges, hearings, dismissal, plea, judgment and sentence.
The court case shows the legal outcome.
FDLE HISTORY
What appears statewide?
Public Florida criminal-history searches and fingerprint-based Personal Review.
A statewide history is different from a local booking search.
FLORIDA CORRECTIONS
Was the person sent to state prison?
Florida DOC number, prison location, state sentence and supervision information.
County-jail detainees do not appear in the FDC offender search.
Fastest reliable sequence:
inmate search → save six-digit booking number → identify arresting agency →
search court case → request only the missing report or certified disposition.

How to search a current Volusia County booking
Read and accept the county disclaimer
The online information is for general informational use and is not a certified record.
Begin with the last name
Use fewer fields first when spelling, aliases or a compound surname are uncertain.
Open every plausible result
One person may have several bookings, and similar names may belong to different people.
Match the date of birth and physical details
Do not identify someone by photograph or name alone.
Save the six-digit booking number
It is required for visits, mail, deposits and many jail-service questions.
Record the facility and custody status
The person may be assigned to the Branch Jail or the Correctional Facility.
Read every charge and bond separately
One booking may contain several cases, holds or release conditions.
Record every court case number
Use the numbers to find future dates, filed charges and the final outcome.
Recheck before sending money or traveling
Volusia County states that inmate information changes quickly and updates approximately every 15 minutes.
The county prohibits unauthorized online republication, resale or dissemination of inmate-search data. Use the system for lawful personal research and obtain official records when proof is required.
Recent and historical booking tool
Use the daily Arrest and Booking Download when the live search is not enough
The Clerk displays daily PDF and spreadsheet reports created from the county Jail Management System. The Clerk does not create or maintain the underlying jail data, and exempt records may be withheld.
Choose Arrest/Booking Download
Available reports are listed by date.
Select PDF for quick reading
Use the PDF when you need to scan one or two days.
Select XLSX for filtering
Use the spreadsheet to sort names, agencies, charges or booking dates.
Search several nearby dates
The arrest date and jail booking date may not be identical.
Verify the result in Case Inquiry
A booking download is not the official final court record.

No-result troubleshooting
No Volusia County inmate result found?
Booking is still underway
Fingerprinting, medical screening and data entry may delay a recent arrest result.
The person remains at a police facility
A municipal arrest may not appear until transfer to county Corrections.
The person was cited and released
Not every Notice to Appear or arrest creates a county-jail admission.
The name is entered differently
Try a former surname, alias, hyphenated name, suffix or alternate spelling.
The person was already released
Search the daily booking download and Clerk criminal case.
The arrest happened in another county
Search where the person was booked rather than where the person lives.
The person transferred to state or federal custody
Search Florida DOC or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
The record is restricted
Juvenile, sealed, expunged and legally confidential records may be unavailable.
The website is temporarily unavailable

Florida record relief
Seal or expunge an eligible Volusia County arrest
A dismissed charge does not automatically disappear. Florida adult criminal-history records generally remain public until a statute or court order restricts access.
Sealed record
The general public loses access, but certain government and legally authorized entities retain access.
Expunged record
Most authorized entities are told that the record was expunged but cannot view the record without a court order.
Prepare these documents first
Volusia booking and arrest information
Arresting-agency case number
Every related court case number
Certified disposition for every charge
Completed FDLE application
Completed fingerprint card
$75 nonrefundable FDLE payment
State Attorney certification for expunction when required
Save all important records before relief
Keep the arrest report, booking information, certified disposition and final court order.
Check eligibility carefully
Prior adjudications, prior sealing or expungement and disqualifying offenses can make the application ineligible.
Obtain a certified disposition
Request it from the Volusia County Clerk for every case or charge listed.
Obtain authorized fingerprints
The fingerprint card must include the required applicant and agency information.
Include the $75 FDLE fee
FDLE accepts the published check or money-order methods and does not accept cash or gift cards.
Allow the current FDLE review period
FDLE states that eligibility processing typically takes about 12 weeks after receiving a complete packet.
Receive the Certificate of Eligibility
The certificate does not seal or expunge the record by itself.
File the petition, affidavit and certificate in the correct Volusia court
Use the court that handled the criminal case.
Pay the applicable Clerk processing charge
Volusia lists a $42 service charge for sealing or expunging a court record.
Notify the required agencies
Follow the current Volusia and FDLE instructions concerning the State Attorney, arresting agency and FDLE.
Obtain the signed judicial order
Relief is not complete until the court grants the petition and FDLE receives a certified order.
FDLE eligibility does not guarantee that the judge will grant relief. The final decision belongs to the court.
