Find the Correct Office
Virginia release records are held at different levels. Contact the last jail for a local booking and release transaction. For a state sentence, use the Virginia Department of Corrections locator or send a focused request to the VADOC unit, facility, or probation and parole district that keeps the file. General VADOC FOIA guidance is available at FOIA@vadoc.virginia.gov, 804-963-2953, or P.O. Box 26963, Richmond, VA 23261. No one statewide phone number can answer every local custody question.
- For a local jail release, choose the responsible city or county in the County Directory.
- For record fields and request steps at both levels, use the Virginia release-record overview.
- For community supervision, check the assigned VADOC district through parole and probation.
- For one jail, prison, or detention center, consult the Facility Directory.
- For state custody or supervision, begin with the VADOC offender search.
- For a federal or immigration case, use the BOP locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator.
