This is a private reference site, not an Oakland County or Michigan government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.

Oakland County Jail and the OCSO Records Unit handle different questions. Inmate Information can address a current or recently ended county booking. The Records Unit supplies its records process and a former inmate’s proof-of-incarceration letter. Court, MDOC, VINE, and federal contacts apply when the person’s path moved beyond the county booking.
