Search Riverside County Bookings by Name

The official Riverside County Sheriff inmate system accepts a last name, first name, date of birth and gender. A full last name is required. Adding the first name, date of birth and gender helps narrow results when multiple people share the same surname. A person arrested recently may not appear immediately while booking is being processed. Custody location can also change after initial booking.

Recent Arrest Versus Current Custody

An arrest record does not necessarily mean the person remains in custody. They may have been released on bail, released on their own recognizance, transferred to another facility or county, or had charges dropped. Use the official inmate system to confirm current custody status before traveling or attempting a visit.
