The Clallam County jail roster is a publicly accessible record of individuals currently held at the Clallam County Corrections Facility in Washington. ClallamCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates. You can also access jail roster information through the Clallam County Inmate Inquiry page maintained by the Sheriff's Office, by visiting the jail in person, or by calling the facility directly. A jail roster search lets the public confirm whether someone is in custody, view current charges, and find booking details. The Clallam County Sheriff's Office maintains the roster and updates it as bookings and releases occur. This transparency tool is hosted on the county's official website and is available around the clock.

Find Clallam County Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created every time an individual is processed into the Clallam County Corrections Facility. During intake, jail staff record identifying information and the circumstances of the arrest. A typical booking record includes:
- Booking number
- Date and time of booking
- Charges at the time of booking
- Arresting agency (Clallam County Sheriff, Port Angeles Police, Sequim Police, Forks Police, or other agency)
- Subject number
- Housing assignment
The most direct way to access current booking records is through the Clallam County Inmate Inquiry tool. This system shows records for individuals who are currently in custody or who were recently booked.
If you need booking records that are no longer displayed on the online roster, you can file a public records request with the Sheriff's Office. The Support Services division handles records maintained by the Sheriff's Office. A personal criminal history record costs $10.00. For related court case records, use the Case or Name Search tool through the Superior Court Clerk's Office, or search the Washington State Courts name and case search portal.
Washington's Public Records Act (RCW 42.56) generally entitles the public to access government records, including jail booking information, unless a specific exemption applies.
Search the Clallam County Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Inmate Inquiry system on the Clallam County website supports two primary search methods:
Search by Last Name
- Navigate to the Inmate Inquiry page.
- Enter the person's last name in the Name field. You can add a first name to narrow results.
- Submit the search.
Tips for name searches:
- Use the person's full legal name, not a nickname or alias.
- Double-check spelling — a single wrong letter can cause the search to return no results.
- If you are unsure of the exact spelling, try entering just the last name to browse all matching entries.
- Hyphenated or multi-part last names may be entered differently in the system. Try variations if the first attempt returns nothing.
Search by Booking Number
If you already have a booking number from a court document, attorney, or prior search, enter it in the Booking Number field for a direct match. This is the fastest way to pull up a specific record.
No Results?
If your search returns no results, consider the following:
- The individual may have already been released. The roster typically shows only those currently in custody.
- The person may have been booked under a different name or legal variation.
- There may be a short delay between arrest and the record appearing online.
- If the person was transferred to the Washington State Department of Corrections, use the DOC Incarcerated Individual Search instead.
- Call the jail directly at 360-417-2459 to confirm custody status.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Clallam County
The Clallam County Inmate Inquiry system is updated on a rolling basis as bookings and releases are processed. However, there are practical limitations to be aware of:
- Processing delays: A newly arrested individual may not appear on the roster immediately. Intake processing — including fingerprinting, photographing, and entering data — takes time, especially during high-volume periods or overnight hours.
- Rapid releases: Someone who is booked and released quickly (for example, on bail or personal recognizance) may never appear on the roster, or may appear only briefly.
- Current custody only: The online roster is not an archive. Once an individual is released or transferred, their record is typically removed. It does not serve as a historical database of all past bookings.
- Data accuracy: Charge descriptions and booking details reflect what was entered at the time of booking. Charges may later be amended, reduced, or dismissed through the court process. The roster does not track court outcomes.
- No juvenile records: Records for individuals under 18 are not published on the public roster.
For older booking records or more detailed information, submit a public records request to the county or contact the Sheriff's Office records division at 360-504-1262. If you need court case information tied to a booking, the Clallam County Superior Court Clerk's Office maintains criminal felony case files, civil filings, and domestic filings that can be searched by name or case number.
