Contact and Records Routes

This is a private reference site, not a county office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the government office that holds the information.


Choose the Office That Holds It

Washington County Sheriff’s Office Records Division
2181 Lexington Boulevard, P.O. Box 6
Washington, IA 52353
319-653-2107
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Washington County Jail
2185 Lexington Boulevard, P.O. Box 6
Washington, IA 52353
319-653-5902

The jail is the direct route for a present county-custody question. The Records Division handles requests for arrest, incident, citation, accident, and related files. Other needs belong with a different official source:

  • For a booking record or photo, follow the county request steps and ask Records whether the item exists and is disclosable.
  • For a court disposition or case-related warrant question, contact the Washington County Clerk of Court at 319-653-7741.
  • For a fresh arrest, call the jail; for a broader published period, consult the Arrested Today and Arrest Reports guides.
  • For release or transfer alerts, use Iowa VINE or call 1-888-742-8463.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator, since county VINE coverage does not replace them.
