Franklin County Busted Mugshots is a private reference resource, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, release a person, post bond, or obtain an official booking record for you. Direct those needs to the public office that controls the record.
Official Franklin County Contacts
Use the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Information page and its Publicview BookingFind search for a current county-custody check. A custody result’s current-location field matters because the county corrections system uses more than one location. For a booking or arrest record, use the separate Public Records Office route below.

The sheriff’s Public Records page says requests may be made in person, by phone, fax, or email, and records are available for inspection during regular business hours. The form identifies the 57 E Main St address as its delivery address. Call the records unit before mailing so the correct delivery method is confirmed.
- For a current county-custody result, begin with the official BookingFind search rather than a news item or private index.
- For a releasable booking or arrest record, ask FCSO Public Records for the record type, name, and date range needed. The Franklin County records overview explains the request path.
- For a later municipal-court event or disposition, use the appropriate Franklin County court record rather than treating a custody result as a case outcome.
- For a person in state custody or supervision, use the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Offender Search.
- For a Dublin, Grove City, or Columbus police report, contact the police department that created the report, since local police records and FCSO custody records are distinct.
