Search Clallam County Jail Mugshots Online

Clallam County keeps an online inmate inquiry tool. The Clallam County Jail Roster page links to the inmate search. The roster shows the name, booking date, charges, and bail amount for each person in custody. Jail staff update it on a regular schedule. The jail does not post booking photos on the public roster. Mugshots are still public records under state law, so you can file a written request for the photo itself.

The jail register rule comes from RCW 70.48.100. That rule says each jail must log every person booked, the cause, the time, and the time of release. Released inmates drop off the public list, but you can still get older records through a public records request under RCW 42.56.

The jail roster page also links to the inmate inquiry system.

Call the jail line at 360-417-2458 if the person is not on the list.

Fields and steps that help speed up a Clallam County inmate search:

• Full name of the person
• Date of birth if you have it
• Approximate booking date
• Case number if known
• Your return mail or email

Note: Released inmates drop off the public roster within hours of release, so older bookings need a written records request.
