Where to Ask About Custody or Records

Address: 826 Fourth Street, Eureka, CA 95501

Records email: sheriffrecords@co.humboldt.ca.us
HCSO does not publish separate Records Unit counter hours in the researched material. Use the online records form, email, or Humboldt NextRequest. Requests normally take 7–10 business days; release limits and fees may apply.
Choose the channel that matches the record or custody stage:
- For a booking record or photograph, start with the home-page records guide and ask HCSO Records if it is not online.
- For a new arrest, use 24 Hour Arrests. For daily PDFs and a multi-day view, use the Arrest Log.
- For HCCF custody or release alerts, check VINELink and confirm urgent details with HCCF.
- For an active adult warrant, follow the official HCSO warrant path on the home page. HCSO lists 707-441-5121 for status checks and warns against approaching anyone.
- For filed charges or outcomes, use the Humboldt Superior Court portal or call the criminal clerk at 707-445-7256, option 1.
- For a sentenced California prisoner, use CDCR CIRIS. It does not cover a new HCCF booking.
- Use the BOP locator for federal custody and the separate ICE locator for qualifying immigration custody.
