Clark County Jail Roster
The official Clark County Jail roster is the first source for current jail custody. It is run through Clark County Jail Services, not a commercial vendor profile system. The roster is free, does not show a login requirement, and displays a public register table. During inspection, entries appeared in last-name-first format with CFN, book date, location, release date, and charge text.
Use the roster for people in Clark County Jail Services custody. Do not use it as a full statewide inmate search. Sentenced state prisoners move to the Washington State Department of Corrections search. Federal custody is separate, and immigration detention uses ICE ODLS. If a person was just arrested, just released, transferred, or held on another agency's warrant, the roster may not be the final answer.
Use Clark County Roster
The Clark County roster is a public table, so the search process is different from counties that use a profile-based inmate portal. The page has a book-date filter label, but the research did not locate a normal multi-field search form or submit button in the text view. For many users, the fastest route is to open the roster and use the browser's find feature for the last name.
- Open the official roster at the Clark County Jail Services website.
- Use the page's book-date filter if it is available in the browser.
- Use browser find for a last name, then compare the full name.
- Check CFN, book date, location, release date, and charges before assuming a match.
- Call 564.397.4996 if the person may be newly booked, released, or transferred.
The Clark County roster page shows the table format used for current inmate records.
The roster image confirms that the public view is built around table fields rather than a full inmate-profile page.
Clark County Search Fields
The roster fields are also the fields a caller or requester should use when checking a record. The CFN is especially important because Clark County mail rules use that number for addressing inmate mail. Location codes can be short, and charge labels can be abbreviated, so the field should be read as a custody clue rather than a final court outcome.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter records by Book Date | Page filter/control | Optional or unspecified | The label appears above the roster; the exact input was not exposed in text view. |
| CFN | Roster column | Not a search field | Control File Number or jail ID. Needed for mail. |
| Name | Roster column | Not a search field | Last name, first and middle names in uppercase. |
| Book Date | Roster column | Not a search field | Displayed in M/D/YYYY format. |
| Location | Roster column | Not a search field | Often A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, or M; some records show agency text. |
| Release Date | Roster column | Not a search field | Blank on many current-custody rows. |
| Charges | Roster column | Not a search field | Plain charge text, sometimes abbreviated. |
Clark County Inmate Profile
Clark County's public jail record is not a full profile. It is a jail-register entry. That distinction matters for bond, court dates, mugshots, demographics, and arresting agency questions. Those items were not visible in the roster table inspected on July 2, 2026. A court search, release page, attorney, bail bond company, or records request may be needed for details not in the jail register.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| CFN | Six-digit jail control file number used by the jail and mail system. |
| Name | Person listed in uppercase, last-name-first format. |
| Book Date | Date the person was booked into local custody. |
| Location | Housing or location code, or agency/location text. |
| Release Date | Release date when populated; blank does not itself explain why a person is held. |
| Charges | Booking or custody charge text. Formal court charges may differ. |
| Mugshot | Not visible in the inspected roster table. |
| Bond and court date | Not visible in the inspected roster table. |
Clark County Jail Contact
The jail information line is the main fallback when the roster is unclear. It is also the practical route for a recent booking, a release that has not been reflected online, or a possible transfer. The lobby is useful for kiosk services and some in-person needs, but Washington law limits inmate records beyond the public jail register.

Clark County Booking Process
Clark County pages do not publish a full intake checklist, but the public process can be reconstructed from roster, release, visitation, mail, and money rules. A person may arrive after arrest, court order, sentencing, warrant, no-bail hold, or other agency hold. The active housing site is the downtown jail. During intake, the person is identified, assigned a CFN, processed for property and money, screened for safety or health needs, and classified for housing.
The public output of that process is the jail register. It lists core custody fields after processing, but it does not publish every operational or medical detail. Cash brought in at booking is deposited to the commissary account. Release later depends on bail, court orders, sentence completion, no-bail status, and possible detainers. Visitation does not begin until the person has been in custody long enough for processing.
Processing point: New bookings may take time to appear, and a person can leave the roster after release or transfer.
Clark County Records Requests
For records beyond the current roster, use the jail public-record portal or the Sheriff's Public Disclosure Unit. A useful request names the person, CFN if known, booking date, incident agency, case number if available, and the specific record sought. Requests for jail inmate records can be limited because RCW 70.48.100 protects many records of people confined in jail.
The Clark County Jail Records page describes the records unit, sentence calculations, releases, and the public roster.
The records-unit source helps separate current custody lookup from requests for historical or non-roster material.
Not every record belongs to Jail Services. Court filings come from the court or clerk, Vancouver Police reports route to the City of Vancouver, and 911 or dispatch records route to CRESA. For charges filed after jail booking, use the court case tools rather than treating the roster charge as the final prosecution record.
Clark County Visitation Rules
Clark County personal visits are online/video only. The county says inmates must be in custody for 72 hours before any type of visiting is allowed. One person may use an available lobby kiosk, and remote video visits use GettingOut/GTL. Visits must be prearranged and may require a fee. These rules are service rules, not roster rules, but they are often needed after confirming custody.
| Service | Schedule / Timing | Provider / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Processing wait before visits | 72 hours in custody | Required before visiting begins. |
| Lobby video kiosk | During lobby hours | One person at an available kiosk. |
| Remote video visit | Prearranged | GettingOut/GTL account required; fee may apply. |
| Inmate phones | Daily, 7 am-10 pm | Outgoing only; calls up to 15 minutes. |
| Voicemail | Three-minute paid message | GettingOut service. |
| Lobby hours | Mon-Fri 8-11:45 am and 12:45-4:30 pm | Closed holidays. |
The personal visitors page documents the 72-hour processing rule and video-only visit system.
The visitation source is useful after roster confirmation because it explains why a same-day visit may not be available.
Mail and Inmate Funds
Mail and money rules use the same CFN that appears on the roster. Personal mail goes to the digital scanning address with the inmate name and CFN. Legal mail and publications use the Clark County Jail Services Vancouver mailing address. Cash and personal checks are not accepted through personal mail, and mail sent directly to the jail for normal personal delivery can be returned.
| Service | Route | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | Clark County Jail, WA; inmate name and CFN; PO Box 247; Phoenix, MD 21131 | Digitally delivered through kiosks or tablets. |
| Legal mail/publications | Inmate name/CFN; Clark County Jail Services; PO Box 1147; Vancouver, WA 98666 | Publications must come from an accepted source. |
| Commissary | Weekly inmate purchase | Items can be limited by medical, mental-health, or discipline status. |
| Deposits | Lobby kiosk, online, phone, or Access Corrections app | Access Corrections customer service is 636.888.7004. |
| Phone funds | Lobby kiosk or GettingOut debit/credit | Fees may apply. |
County State Federal Search
When a Clark County inmate record is not on the roster, the most likely explanation is that the person is not in current local jail custody. Sentenced felony prison custody moves to Washington DOC. Federal custody uses BOP or federal court and U.S. Marshals channels. Immigration detention uses ICE ODLS. WA VINE can help with custody status and notifications for participating agencies, but it is not a full court-record search.
| Custody | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Clark County Jail | County roster or jail information line | Current pretrial, local sentence, warrant, or court-order custody. |
| Washington DOC | DOC Incarcerated Search | Sentenced state prison custody by DOC number or name. |
| Federal BOP | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal custody from 1982 to present. |
| ICE | ICE ODLS | Immigration detention by A-number or biographical search. |
| Notifications | WA VINE | Release, transfer, escape, death, and data-feed notices. |
Clark County Jail Facilities
Clark County Jail Services has the downtown jail and the Work Center in the facility map, but county material says the Work Center has not housed inmates since 2020. That means the downtown jail remains the active local inmate housing site, while the Work Center is relevant for jail industries, renovations, and planned J Pod capacity.

Clark County Service Apps
No official Clark County Sheriff's Office Washington inmate roster app was verified for public custody search, warrants, or most-wanted records. GettingOut/GTL and Access Corrections are service-provider apps, not official roster apps. They can help with video visits, phone accounts, voicemail, messages, photos, or deposits after custody has been confirmed through the roster or jail information line.
VINELink also has a mobile app for custody notifications in Washington. It is useful for alerts, but it should not be treated as a court docket, official jail-register copy, or replacement for the Washington DOC locator.
