How arrest and booking records are kept in Indiana

Open file drawer with rows of record folders in a county records office

A person arrested in Indiana is booked into a local jail, where the agency records the name, the charges and the booking date and takes a booking photo. The clerk of court opens a case when a prosecutor files charges. People sentenced to prison are recorded by the state corrections department. Each of these agencies publishes its own records, which is why a search starts with the county.

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