How booking works in Miami-Dade County

Miami-Dade County jails are run by the Corrections and Rehabilitation Department. A person arrested in Miami or elsewhere in the county is booked by that department, which publishes the Inmate In-Custody Search with a booking photo. The search covers people in custody now. For a past arrest, use the criminal case search of the Clerk.

An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.

What Florida law says about booking photos

Florida treats booking records as public records, and the Inmate In-Custody Search shows a booking photo for people in custody. The rules for publishers of booking photos are set out on the Florida page.

Booking photos appear only where state law allows commercial display and the source provides them.

The Inmate In-Custody Search covers people held now, so a person released after a Miami arrest is found in the Criminal Justice Online Case Search of the Clerk instead. Both cover Miami-Dade County only. An arrest in Broward, Monroe or Collier County is booked by that county. If you do not know the county, search the name with the state set to Florida. The full report shows the records it finds, each with its source and date.
