Official Fayette Record Contacts

The Fayette County Sheriff's Office receives jail and release-record requests at 1500 Robinson Road SE, Washington Court House, OH 43160. Call the records route at 740-335-6170, fax 740-333-3597, or email sheriff.records@fayette-co-oh.com. For an immediate jail-status question, the jail number is 740-333-3783. The sheriff's research material does not publish fixed records-counter hours, so confirm access before visiting.

  • For a named former inmate or sheriff discharge entry, use the Fayette release search and records steps.
  • For a state parolee or post-release-control case, use ODRC and the Ohio Adult Parole Authority. Fayette Adult Probation handles Common Pleas felony community control, while Municipal Court probation handles that court's cases.
  • For a narrow recent-release window, ask the sheriff for existing jail-register entries. Fayette does not publish an official 24-hour or 72-hour release feed.
  • For a projected state release date, use ODRC. Register in Ohio VINE for participating custody-event notices.
  • For a felony court record, contact the Fayette County Clerk of Courts at 110 E. Court Street, third floor, Washington Court House, or call 740-335-6371.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the statewide ODRC Offender Search rather than the county roster.
  • For federal prison use BOP; for immigration detention use ICE. Federal pretrial custody may require the court docket or USMS.
