Search Volusia County Inmate Mugshots and Booking Records
If you know the person’s name, start with the Volusia County Division of Corrections Inmate Information Search. The county says the online data is updated every 15 minutes and individual records can include a booking photograph, booking date, release information, charges, bond fields, arrest case numbers, court case numbers and booking history.
Records Search
Court, Criminal, Marriage, Divorce, Property
If you want everyone booked during a particular recent 24-hour period instead of searching one person, use the Volusia County Clerk’s Arrest/Booking Download. Those daily files are generated from the county Jail Management System and remain available for approximately fourteen calendar days.
Fastest Way to Find Volusia County Mugshots and Jail Records
Volusia County has two especially useful official search routes. Use the Corrections inmate system when you know the person’s name or need an individual booking record. Use the Clerk’s 24-hour download when you are researching everyone booked during one recent reporting period.
You know the inmate’s name
Start with the Division of Corrections Inmate Information Search. This is the main county route for an individual booking, mugshot and custody record.
Official inmate information search →You want recent bookings by date
Use the Clerk’s Arrest/Booking Download for people arrested and booked into the Branch Jail during the previous 24-hour reporting period.
Official 24-hour arrest downloads →You need what happened after booking
Use the Volusia County Clerk’s Case Inquiry. Court records answer a different question from the initial jail booking.
Volusia court-record search →You need the underlying arrest or incident record
For incidents handled by the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, use VSO Records. City police departments maintain their own records for incidents within their jurisdictions.
VSO public-record information →The person was transferred to Florida DOC
County-jail custody and Florida state-prison custody are separate. Move to the Florida Department of Corrections offender search when state custody applies.
Florida Department of Corrections →The online search does not provide what you need
Volusia County Corrections links to its Public Records Center for requests that require records beyond the public inmate interface.
Corrections records guidance →Corrections and the Sheriff are not the same agency
Volusia County expressly states that its Division of Corrections is separate from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office. Corrections operates the jail and inmate search. The Sheriff handles services such as VSO arrest and incident records, fingerprints and other law-enforcement functions.
How to Use the Volusia County Inmate Information Search
The county’s inmate system is the best starting point when you are checking one person. Volusia County says the web data updates every 15 minutes, but also warns that the online version is informational and is not the official jail record.
Open the official Corrections inmate site
Use the Volusia County Division of Corrections site at volusiamug.vcgov.org. Read and accept the county disclaimer before continuing to the search.
Search the person’s name
Enter the identifying information available to you. If several people have similar names, open the possible matches and compare the booking details rather than assuming the first result is correct.
Open the individual inmate record
The record may display the booking photograph, booking number, inmate ID, booking date, release date, charge information, statute, bond information, arrest case number, court case number and booking history.
Check whether the person is still in custody
Pay attention to release information and current status. An older booking entry does not necessarily mean the person remains in jail.
Follow the court case number
When a court case number appears, use the Clerk’s Case Inquiry to check the later judicial record instead of relying only on the initial booking charge.
Volusia County Mugshots and Arrests From the Previous 24 Hours
Unlike many counties that only provide a live roster, Volusia County has a separate official recent-booking resource. The Clerk makes daily Arrest/Booking Download files available from data produced by the county Jail Management System.
What the report covers
The Clerk describes the files as 24 Hour Arrest data for people arrested and booked into the Branch Jail during the previous 24 hours. The files contain initial booking, charge and violation information.
How long daily files remain available
The Clerk says the daily downloads remain available for approximately fourteen calendar days. Current reports are offered in downloadable formats such as PDF and XLSX.
Open Official Arrest/Booking Downloads
The Clerk notes that these arrest/download files originate from the Volusia County Jail Management System and are not created or maintained as Clerk court records. Some entries may also be withheld because of statutory exemptions.
How to Look for Older Volusia County Bookings
Once a daily 24-hour report is no longer among the Clerk’s approximately fourteen days of downloadable files, switch from date browsing to person- or case-based research.
| Situation | Best starting point | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Person may still be in county custody | Corrections Inmate Information Search | Open the individual record and verify booking/custody details. |
| Older individual booking | Corrections inmate search | Check booking history where available and then use the case number. |
| Need the incident or arrest report | Arresting agency records office | Use VSO Records if VSO handled the incident; otherwise use the appropriate city police agency. |
| Need filed charges or disposition | Volusia County Clerk Case Inquiry | Search by name or case number. |
| Need a record not provided online | Volusia County or agency public-record process | Submit a specific records request to the agency that maintains the record. |
| Person entered Florida state prison | Florida Department of Corrections | Use the state offender search rather than the county jail site. |
What a Volusia County Inmate Record Can Show
Individual records contain more than a photograph. Reading the identifiers and court fields together helps distinguish the booking record from the later criminal case.
Mugshot and inmate identifiers
The jail record can display a booking photograph, booking number and inmate ID. These are more useful for verification than relying on a photograph alone.
Booking and release dates
A booking date records jail intake. A release date concerns county custody. Neither date by itself tells you the final court outcome.
Statute and description
The inmate record can show the charge statute and description. Booking charges can later be amended, dismissed or resolved differently in court.
Bond type and amount
Where applicable, charge rows can include bond type and amount. Verify current bond information before paying because court action can alter release conditions.
Arrest case number
This can help connect the jail booking to the responsible law-enforcement incident or arrest record.
Court case number and status
The jail interface can include a court case number, but the Clerk’s court system is the better place to investigate later case events and disposition.
Volusia County Branch Jail and Correctional Facility
Volusia County Corrections operates two facilities in the Daytona Beach area. The county assigns different inmate groups between them, so the facility on a record matters when you need visitation, health or release information.
Volusia County Branch Jail
1300 Red John DriveDaytona Beach, Florida
Phone: 386-254-1555
The county says the Branch Jail houses pretrial inmates, state-sentenced inmates, and medium- and high-custody nonsentenced males. Bond posting and First Appearance hearings are handled at the Branch Jail.
Volusia County Correctional Facility
1354 N. Indian Lake RoadDaytona Beach, Florida
Phone: 386-254-1565
The county says this facility houses county-sentenced inmates, low- and medium-custody nonsentenced males and all female inmates.
Official county pages currently show inconsistent ZIP codes in different locations, so this guide intentionally does not infer a ZIP code. Use the official Corrections page when mailing, visiting or completing a form that requires the full postal address.
What Happens During the First 24 Hours in Volusia County Jail?
Volusia County says an arrested person remains in custody until bond is posted or a judge orders release. Within one day of jail admission, the detainee appears before a judge for a First Appearance hearing.
Formal first review
The First Appearance includes a reading of the charges and judicial review of probable cause for the detention.
The judge can change release conditions
According to the county FAQ, the judge may raise or lower bond, leave the existing bond in place or release the person on recognizance. Pre-Trial Supervision may also apply in appropriate cases.
Public defender
The county says the judge may appoint a public defender when the individual cannot afford an attorney.
Current First Appearance schedule
Volusia County’s FAQ currently lists First Appearance hearings at the Branch Jail at 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. on weekends and holidays. The county says anyone may attend. Recheck the Corrections FAQ before traveling because hearing schedules can change.
Where to Check Bond and Release Information
Bond information is available from the Branch Jail Booking Office. Volusia County says that office operates 24 hours a day and accepts bond posting at the Branch Jail.
Bond information
Call the Branch Jail Booking Office at 386-254-1555. The county says anyone may post bond in cash or use a bondsman.
If an arrest was made on a warrant, the issuing judge may already have set the bond. The First Appearance judge can later alter the release conditions.
How long release can take
Once a person is eligible for release, county staff still must complete release paperwork. Corrections says the process can take approximately two to four hours depending on the circumstances.
Since April 29, 2024, the county says inmates generally are not released between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless a responsible party is on site to transport the person and checks in with Control.
How to Check the Volusia County Criminal Court Case
The Clerk of the Circuit Court maintains Volusia County court records. Use Case Inquiry when you need the later criminal case rather than the initial jail record.
Online Case Inquiry
The Clerk says criminal case searches can be performed through its Case Inquiry system using name or case-number information. Some public docket documents are viewable online, while protected or confidential cases and documents are excluded.
Clerk record-search service
The Clerk currently lists a fee of $2 per year, per name searched when its office performs a requested record search. Copies are listed at $1 per page, with a $2 certification fee per document when certification is needed.
Free public-access terminals are also available at Clerk offices according to the Clerk’s current criminal-record guidance.
Where to Request a Volusia Sheriff Arrest or Incident Record
The jail and the Sheriff are separate agencies. If the arrest or incident was handled by the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, the VSO Records Section is the central repository for VSO incident and Florida traffic-crash reports.
VSO public-record request
Records may be requested through the Sheriff’s online Public Records portal, by telephone, by mail or in person.
Records Section: 386-736-5962
Volusia Sheriff’s Office Records SectionThomas C. Kelly Administration Center
123 W. Indiana Ave., 4th Floor
DeLand, FL
The listed records-office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays.
Which police agency handled the arrest?
The Sheriff has countywide authority but says its primary policing jurisdiction includes unincorporated Volusia County and contracted cities such as Deltona, DeBary, Pierson and Oak Hill.
An incident inside another city may belong to that city’s police department. Identify the arresting agency on the booking record before sending a records request.
When to Use Florida Department of Corrections
Volusia County Corrections handles county detention. If the person later enters Florida state-prison custody, move to the Florida Department of Corrections rather than continuing to treat the county jail record as the current custody source.
Florida DOC offender search
Florida DOC maintains the state correctional system and offender-search resources. It answers state-prison and state-supervision questions, not the initial Volusia County booking search.
Florida Department of Corrections →Volusia County Jail Visitation
If your goal is visiting someone rather than locating a mugshot, you will need the inmate’s six-digit booking number. Corrections says that number can be found through the Inmate Information Search.
Visits require advance scheduling
The county currently requires visitation by appointment. Appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance and by 9 p.m. before the requested visit date.
Tuesday through Saturday
Current on-site sessions are offered Tuesday through Saturday, with afternoon and evening time blocks. Recheck the official visitation page before scheduling.
Video Visitation Building
On-site visitors are directed to the Video Visitation Building next to the Branch Jail at 1300A Red John Drive and should check in ten minutes before the appointment.
Current scheduling methods
Corrections currently directs visitors to IC Solutions or its automated scheduling phone system. The county says appointments can be scheduled up to two weeks in advance, but multiple advance appointments by the same visitor are prohibited.
Money, Commissary and Mail for a Volusia County Inmate
Booking numbers matter beyond the mugshot search. The county uses the inmate’s identifying information for visitation, deposits and mail, so verify the current inmate record before sending funds or correspondence.
Commissary and inmate account
Money collected during booking is placed into the inmate’s account. The county says those funds can be used for commissary and may also be applied to booking, subsistence or other permitted charges.
County materials identify electronic/lobby deposit options and commissary services. Vendor arrangements can change, so use the current Corrections page before making a deposit.
Regular inmate mail
Mail must identify the specific inmate under the name used for incarceration and include the matching booking number. A complete sender return address is required.
Corrections says incoming inmate mail is inspected except qualifying privileged mail, and mail for people no longer in custody is returned unopened.
Volusia County Booking and Daily Subsistence Fees
Volusia County currently assesses certain incarceration-related fees against inmate accounts. These are jail-account charges and should not be confused with a court fine, bond amount or fee to search the inmate website.
$30 booking fee
The current Corrections FAQ lists a one-time $30 booking fee for an inmate booking.
$5 daily subsistence fee
The county also lists a $5 per-day subsistence fee. Corrections says eligible inmates who choose to work while incarcerated have the daily subsistence fee waived.
Acquitted defendants may seek reimbursement of subsistence fees
Volusia County’s FAQ says defendants whose criminal charges are discharged after acquittal may request reimbursement of eligible subsistence fees through the Florida Justice Administrative Commission process referenced by the county.
Sealing or Expunging a Florida Criminal History Record
Sealing or expunging a Florida criminal history is a separate legal process from asking a website to remove a mugshot. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement determines eligibility for several statutory forms of relief.
FDLE Certificate of Eligibility
For court-ordered sealing or expungement under the standard Florida process, FDLE says the applicant must first obtain a Certificate of Eligibility before petitioning the appropriate court.
$75 FDLE application fee
FDLE currently lists a nonrefundable $75 processing fee for the Certificate of Eligibility application, together with the required application and fingerprint materials.
Typical FDLE eligibility processing
FDLE currently says determining eligibility typically takes about 12 weeks from receipt of a complete application packet and that applications are not expedited.
Volusia County Inmate Search Troubleshooting
A missing result can have several explanations. Use the type of record you need to decide the next step instead of assuming no arrest or booking occurred.
| Problem | Possible explanation | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Name not found immediately after arrest | Booking or data processing may still be underway | Remember the online system updates on a cycle; recheck and call Booking/Charges if necessary. |
| You want every arrest from yesterday | Person-name search is the wrong tool | Use the Clerk’s previous-24-hour Arrest/Booking Download. |
| You need a report older than the daily download window | The Clerk keeps those daily reports only for approximately fourteen calendar days | Move to person-based inmate search, agency records and the court case. |
| The booking charge differs from the court case | Charges can change after the arrest stage | Use Clerk Case Inquiry for later filed charges and disposition. |
| You need the police narrative | The jail record does not replace an incident report | Identify the arresting police agency and request its record. |
| The person is no longer in county custody | They may have been released, transferred or entered state custody | Check court records and, where applicable, Florida DOC. |
| Information is needed for legal action | The public inmate website is not the official certified jail record | Request the appropriate official or certified record from the maintaining agency. |
