Orange County Booking Records Search

Orange County 24 hour booking records are managed by the Orange County Corrections Department in Orlando, Florida. The department publishes both an online inmate search and a daily booking report that covers all arrests processed during the previous 24-hour period. These tools are free and public. Florida law guarantees open access to booking data, so anyone can check who has been brought into the Orange County jail. For real-time questions about a person in custody, call the corrections department at 407-836-3400.

Orange County Jail Booking Report and Inmate Search

Orange County gives you two main ways to check booking records. The first is the online inmate search portal, which shows everyone currently held at the Orange County jail. You can search by name and see charges, bond amounts, and booking dates. The second is the daily booking report, which is a PDF that lists every person booked during the 24-hour period starting at midnight.

The daily booking report is one of the most useful tools Orange County offers. It captures a full day of booking activity in one document. The report title says it plainly: "Orange County Jail Booking Report - Bookings During the 24-Hour Period Beginning at Midnight." This is updated regularly and gives you a snapshot of everyone who came through intake on a given day. It is a true 24 hour booking log.

The inmate search updates every 30 minutes. That is a fast refresh rate compared to many Florida counties. New bookings show up fairly quickly after processing. People who have been released are removed from the listings, so the search only shows current inmates. If you need to check on someone who was already released, the daily booking report PDF may still have their entry.

The Orange County Corrections website provides links to the inmate search and daily booking reports.

How Orange County 24 Hour Bookings Are Processed

Orange County is one of the most populated counties in Florida. Orlando, the county seat, is a major metro area with multiple law enforcement agencies. The Orange County Sheriff's Office handles unincorporated areas. Orlando Police covers the city. Winter Park, Maitland, Apopka, Ocoee, and other municipalities have their own departments. The Florida Highway Patrol and state agencies also make arrests in the area.

All of these agencies bring their arrests to the same place. The Orange County jail at 3723 Vision Boulevard in Orlando is where booking happens. Officers record the person's name, date of birth, charges, and physical description. Fingerprints are taken. A booking photo is captured. The data goes into the corrections system and becomes part of the public record under Section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes.

Because so many agencies operate in Orange County, the booking records show a wide range of arrest sources. Each record notes which agency made the arrest. This is helpful when you want to follow up on a case, because you can contact the right department for additional details. The corrections department handles the jail side. The arresting agency handles the investigation.

Orange County Booking Records and Florida Law

Florida's Sunshine Law is the legal backbone for public records access. Section 119.011 defines public records broadly. Booking data, arrest reports, jail intake forms, and booking photos all qualify. The corrections department must make these records available. The online search and daily report are how they meet that requirement for Orange County.

You do not need to be an Orange County resident to search these records. You do not need an account or a login. The tools work on any device. There is no charge for viewing the data online. If you need formal copies, you can file a public records request with the corrections department. There may be a fee for printed copies, but online access is always free.
