This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, obtain an official booking record, release a person, or post bond. Contact the agency responsible for the record or custody decision.
Official Holmes County Contacts
Administrative and records inquiries begin with sheriff headquarters, while an immediate custody question belongs with the jail. The two offices have separate addresses. Both use the same base number, but official sources conflict about the numbered jail option. Call HCSO at (850) 547-3681 and follow the live menu rather than relying on a fixed option number. Use 911 only for an emergency. HCSO has not published verified records-office hours, a local fee schedule, or a set response time.

1173 E. Highway 90

County Jail
Holmes County Jail
3207 Lonny Lindsey Drive
Bonifay, FL 32425
Phone: (850) 547-3681
Use the live menu for the jail. Confirm visiting or records hours before traveling.
Choose the source that matches the question:
- For a county booking sheet or releasable booking photograph, ask HCSO for the records custodian. The home page explains the request path.
- For current custody, release status, or whether an official release alert is available, call Holmes County Jail through the base number and live menu.
- For a filed criminal case or final disposition, use the Holmes County Clerk of Court & Comptroller at 201 N. Oklahoma Street, Bonifay, (850) 547-1100, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The clerk lists option 5 for misdemeanor and felony matters.
- For a possible warrant, review the clerk docket, then contact the court, counsel, or HCSO as appropriate. The Most Wanted Fugitives page explains why a docket search is not live warrant clearance.
- For an FDC-sentenced or supervised person, use the Florida Department of Corrections offender search. It is not a county booking roster.
- For a sentenced federal prisoner, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator.
- For a person who may be in immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
