Arrest History in Nassau County
The Nassau County Sheriff's Office makes arrests and operates the Nassau County Jail and Detention Center. Fernandina Beach Police and other authorized agencies can make arrests too. Booking at the county jail does not transfer ownership of a city police narrative to the sheriff. The agency that made the arrest keeps its report, while NCSO keeps the jail intake and custody entries.
A Nassau County arrest record can show an allegation, booking, bond, and release, but it does not establish guilt. The prosecutor may file different charges or none at all. OCRS then becomes the lasting source for the case outcome. For broad context on filed charges and dispositions, use the Nassau County criminal court case records after locating the arrest event.
Nassau Arrests in Current Custody
The official NCSO Current-Custody Inquiry is preset to people held at the Nassau County Jail and Detention Center now. It may show name, custody status, race, sex, height, weight, facility, and booking, charge, or bond details. Charges are allegations. The result should be used to capture a booking or case reference, then checked against the court file.
Open the official current-custody inquiry and read its current-facility warning.
The portal is useful for a recent booking but incomplete for anyone released or transferred from Nassau County custody.
How to Look Up Nassau County Arrests
No single Nassau County arrest search holds every layer. Move from current custody to the agency report, court case, and state repository. Use an event date, location, case or report number, deputy name, and involved person's name as matching aids. A missing result at one stage should prompt the next official channel, not a private aggregator.
- Check the NCSO Current-Custody Inquiry for a person held at the Nassau County jail now. Save the booking or case reference.
- Call NCSO Records at 904-548-4009 or request the arrest report through NCSO JustFOIA. For a city-police arrest, request that agency's narrative.
- Search Nassau OCRS after filing. Compare dates and charges, allowing for lag and changes made by the prosecutor.
- Use FDLE CCHInet for the paid statewide repository record, or FDLE Personal Review to inspect and challenge your own fingerprint-based history.
- For an older, absent, or booking-adjacent item, visit NCSO Records at 77151 Citizens Circle or make the request by phone or in writing.
Nassau Arrest Reports from Records
NCSO Records is the main fallback for sheriff arrest reports and older booking-adjacent material. The counter is at 77151 Citizens Circle, Yulee, FL 32097, and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays. Call 904-548-4009. NCSO says email addresses become public records, so a person who does not want an email disclosed may request in person, by phone, or in writing.

The NCSO Public Information source provides the official arrest-report request route.
This route avoids third-party galleries and keeps the request with the agency that created the Nassau County arrest record.
What an Arrest Record Shows
The report and booking file answer different questions. The agency report identifies the event and may contain a probable-cause narrative, subject to exemptions. The jail intake records identity, photograph, fingerprints, charge entry, bond, custody, and release or transfer status. First appearance and later judicial decisions belong in the Nassau County court record.
| Booking Number | Jail reference that helps match intake and later requests. |
|---|---|
| Booking Date & Time | When Nassau County custody intake occurred, distinct from the event time. |
| Arresting Agency | Identifies which agency owns the arrest or incident narrative. |
| Charges | Alleged arrest charges and statutory references; they may change after filing. |
| Bond | Release amount or conditions shown in the custody record or court order. |
| Booking Photograph | Created at intake; NCSO routes public requests through its official records process. |
| Release Status | Shows release or transfer in custody records when available. |
Nassau Arrest Booking Timeline
After transport, Nassau County corrections staff inventory property, verify identity, take a photograph and fingerprints, enter charges, screen for medical and mental-health needs, and classify the person. A judge then conducts first appearance and reviews probable cause and release conditions. Cash, surety, recognizance, or no-bond status depends on the order.
Record flow: Arresting Agency › Nassau Booking › First Appearance › Prosecutor Filing › OCRS Disposition › FDLE Update
The NCSO Corrections overview identifies the jail as the local custody source.
The jail stage is one part of the record chain. It cannot substitute for the arrest narrative or final court disposition.
Recent Arrests and Booking Logs
NCSO publishes a current-custody inquiry, not a full historical booking log. It is the fastest official check for someone housed in the Nassau County Jail and Detention Center now. Once the person leaves or transfers, the portal can no longer answer the history question. Call Records for the older arrest report and booking-adjacent material.
Absence from the roster proves only that the current-custody search did not return a match. It does not prove there was no arrest. Nor does it show that a charge was dismissed, changed, or resolved. Search OCRS for the filed case and read each disposition. For custody changes and alerts, the Florida VINELink channel offers a separate notification layer.
VINELink supplements official Nassau records with custody notifications; it does not replace the sheriff's report or clerk docket.
Nassau Arrest Record Request Fees
The NCSO schedule effective January 1, 2026 lists an arrest report or letter-size copy at $0.15 per page, plus postage if mailed. A certified copy adds $1 to the page charge. Extensive research, IT, or redaction work may cost $22.81 per hour, and a deposit can be required after a good-faith estimate. NCSO asks for approval before work at that level proceeds.
| NCSO record service | Published charge |
|---|---|
| Arrest or incident report | $0.15 per letter-size page |
| Certified copy | $0.15 per page plus $1 certification |
| CD | $0.50; special service may apply |
| DVD/Blu-ray | $2; special service may apply |
| Extensive research, IT, or redaction | $22.81 per hour; deposit may apply |
Cash, money order, and Visa credit card are listed payment methods. A precise Nassau County arrest date, location, case number, and deputy name can reduce matching work.
Nassau Jail Contact Is Separate
The Nassau County Jail and Detention Center is at 76212 Nicholas Cutinha Road in Yulee. Custody, inmate contact, visitation, and mail rules belong to Corrections, while the Records counter handles report copies. Keeping those channels separate helps avoid asking jail staff to certify a sheriff report or court disposition.
Check the official Nassau jail visitation source for current scheduling, identification, mail, and contact rules.
The published page also distinguishes changing vendor and contact procedures from the fixed historical arrest report held by Records.
Arrests vs Convictions
An arrest records a law-enforcement action and possible jail intake. A conviction is a court result. Nassau County arrest charges can be amended after prosecutor review, dismissed, resolved with a withhold of adjudication, or end in acquittal. The only sound reading pairs the agency and jail record with the charge-level court outcome.
Timing also matters. A Nassau County booking can appear before the prosecutor files a case, while an FDLE history may await later submissions. Recheck the OCRS docket for the final charge and disposition. If the state entry still lacks that result, use FDLE Personal Review and provide the precise disputed event.
| Arrest Record | Conviction Record |
|---|---|
| Created by the arresting agency and jail | Created and entered by the court |
| Shows an arrest or booking occurred | Shows a judgment or legally stated outcome |
| Held in agency reports and custody systems | Held by the Nassau Clerk and reported to FDLE |
| May be followed by release or no filed charge | May lead to sentence, appeal, sealing, or expunction |
Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt, and the filed charge or final result may differ from the booking allegation.
