Find a Martin County Jail Inmate and Verify Current Custody
If you are trying to find someone arrested in Martin County, Florida, start with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office jail search. The Sheriff links to a live Corrections Records Search system for people currently incarcerated in the county jail and also publishes a separate recent-bookings resource for arrests from the last 10 days.
Stuart, Florida 34997
The Sheriff’s general-information page also directs callers to 772-220-7200, option 0.
Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
How to Search the Martin County Jail Roster
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office does not require you to buy a commercial background report to check current jail custody. Its Corrections section links directly to the county’s inmate-search system.
- Open the Martin County Sheriff’s Office Jail Inmate Search.
- Select the Sheriff’s link to the Corrections Records Search portal, or use the live-roster button above.
- Enter the inmate’s legal name. When you are unsure about the exact spelling, begin with fewer search details rather than over-filtering.
- Review all plausible matches. Do not assume that two people with the same name are the same person.
- Open the individual record and compare available identifying details, booking information, arrest information and photograph.
- If the record is missing or the status is unclear, call Corrections at 772-220-7200 before assuming the person has been released.
What You Can Learn From a Martin County Inmate Search
The Sheriff’s Corrections page describes the online lookup as a search for arrest information and photographs of people currently incarcerated in Martin County. The exact fields can change as the records system is updated.
| Information | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | Confirm spelling and distinguish people with similar names. |
| Booking or arrest information | Helps identify the current incarceration rather than an older arrest. |
| Booking photograph | Useful as an additional identity check when displayed. |
| Charges | Shows allegations associated with the booking. A listed charge is not proof of conviction. |
| Bond information | May help determine whether a bond is listed, but confirm the current amount and eligibility before paying. |
| Booking/CFN number | Useful for deposits, jail inquiries and other inmate services. |
| Custody status | Helps determine whether the person still appears in county jail custody. |
Jail records and court records answer different questions. The jail system is best for present custody and booking information. The Clerk’s court system is better for case numbers, docket activity, filed charges, hearings, court documents and final disposition.
Recent Martin County Bookings
If someone was arrested recently but you are not sure whether the booking has reached the live inmate search, check the Sheriff’s Recent Bookings resource. The Sheriff’s Office states that this report covers arrests in Martin County during the previous 10 days.
The recent-booking report is not necessarily a complete list of every arrest. The Sheriff notes that information may be excluded when it involves certain juveniles, records protected by Florida’s Marsy’s Law crime-victim provisions, or other exempt or confidential records. Arrest affidavits that would otherwise be uploaded on a weekend or observed holiday are deferred to the next business day.
If the arrest happened today
- Search the live inmate roster first.
- Check the 10-day Recent Bookings page.
- Try the person’s exact legal surname and a simpler name search.
- Allow time for intake and booking to be completed.
- Call the Booking Unit at 772-220-7220 if you need confirmation.
Charges, Bond, Release Dates and Court Records
The Sheriff’s general-information page specifically tells the public to contact the Booking Unit for information about charges, bond information and release dates. It lists the Corrections number, 772-220-7200, with option 0. The Sheriff’s directory separately lists a Booking Unit direct number of 772-220-7220.
Bond payment rules
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office currently states that bonds may be paid using a money order or cashier’s check in place of a cash bond, or through a bondsperson. The jail states that it does not accept cash for bonds.
Before paying anything, verify every current charge and bond condition. A person can have more than one charge, a hold from another agency, a no-bond status or a later court order that changes release eligibility.
How to check the criminal case
- Identify the correct inmate and write down the exact name, booking information and case number if one is displayed.
- Open the Martin County Clerk Records Search.
- Select the Court Records search.
- Search by the defendant’s name or known case information.
- Match the case carefully before relying on docket entries or documents.
- Use the Clerk rather than the jail roster when you need the judicial outcome or a certified court record.
The Clerk says its online system can provide indexes, dockets and non-confidential document images for criminal and other court cases. For formal copies, the Clerk lists court-record copies at $1 per page and certification at $2 per document. A criminal record search requested from the Clerk is listed at $2 per year/per name.
Why Someone May Not Appear in the Martin County Jail Search
| Situation | Best next step |
|---|---|
| Arrest is very recent | Recheck after booking has processed and call the Booking Unit if necessary. |
| Name is entered differently | Try the legal surname, fewer fields, alternate spelling or removal of suffixes. |
| Person was released | Check the criminal court case and the Sheriff’s recent-booking information. |
| Transferred to Florida state prison | Use the Florida Department of Corrections Offender Search. |
| Federal custody | Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator. |
| Immigration custody or hold | Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator or contact ICE. |
| Record is confidential or exempt | Contact the Sheriff’s Records Unit to determine what can legally be released. |
Martin County Jail Location and Contact Numbers
The jail is part of the Martin County Public Safety Complex/Holt Law Enforcement Center on the south side of Monterey Road in Stuart. The Sheriff’s jail-information page lists the jail’s physical address as:
800 SE Monterey Road
Stuart, FL 34997
Corrections: 772-220-7200
Booking Unit: 772-220-7220
Corrections fax: 772-220-7210
Why you may also see ZIP code 34994: the Sheriff’s headquarters and inmate-mail instructions use 800 SE Monterey Road, Stuart, FL 34994, while the Sheriff’s general jail-information page lists the physical jail location as Stuart, FL 34997. For mail, use the exact address specified in the current mail instructions rather than copying the physical-location ZIP code.
Video Visitation and Inmate Phone Calls
Martin County Jail no longer provides traditional on-site visitation. The Sheriff’s current Corrections procedures say visitation is conducted offsite/remotely and that visitors may schedule two free visits per month.
The published visitation windows are Sunday through Saturday, including holidays when staffing allows:
- 8:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m.
- 1:15 p.m.-6:45 p.m.
- 8:30 p.m.-9:25 p.m.
The Sheriff’s current services page identifies HomeWAV for remote video visitation and voice-calling services. Create the account first, locate the inmate and review the available visit times before paying for services or planning a call.
Remote visits may be ended for prohibited conduct, including recording the visit, displaying weapons or illegal substances, exposing nudity, excessive obscenity or participating in a visit while operating a vehicle.
Send Money, Commissary and Property Release
Depositing money
An inmate account is created when a person enters the jail. The Sheriff’s mail instructions say deposits can be made through the jail-lobby kiosk, by approved money order/certified bank check or through TouchPay.
- Find the inmate in the official roster.
- Record the inmate’s correct name and booking/CFN number.
- Open TouchPay or use an approved jail deposit method.
- For Martin County Sheriff’s Office, use site number 234994 when the payment system requests it.
- Confirm the inmate information before submitting payment and retain the receipt.
The jail states that commissary items can include approved clothing, greeting cards, limited over-the-counter medication, hygiene products, stamps, radios and snacks. The Sheriff’s services page also links to iCare for approved commissary gift packages.
Property or money release
An inmate who needs to release personal property or money to a friend or family member must submit the appropriate release request. The Sheriff states that the request must be completed at least 24 hours in advance. Only one property/money release is permitted during an incarceration, and outstanding inmate debts can affect a money release.
Martin County Jail Mail Rules
Mail procedures have changed substantially. The Sheriff’s current mail page announces that personal inmate mail is moving to a digital process and uses TextBehind systems for mail handling and sender verification.
Legal or privileged mail
The Sheriff’s page gives this address:
C/O (Inmate Name)
800 SE Monterey Road
Stuart, FL 34994
For privileged mail sent through the postal service, the Sheriff’s policy effective December 9, 2024 requires a valid TextBehind MOVE verification QR code on the outside of the envelope. The QR code is obtained through the TextBehind DOCS portal. Privileged mail without the required verification may be returned.
Money orders by mail
A money order must identify the inmate and booking/CFN number and should be sent to the jail address above. The Sheriff instructs senders to mark the outside of the envelope “For deposit only.” Do not put personal correspondence in the same money-order envelope because the entire envelope may be returned.
Books and reading material
The Sheriff’s mail page contains older reading-material instructions but also displays a newer notice stating that, effective January 1, 2025, the Martin County Jail will no longer accept books from outside sources. Because the newer notice can override older publisher-language on the same page, confirm the current rule before ordering or mailing any book.
How to Request a Booking or Sheriff’s Record
If you need more than the live jail roster, the Martin County Sheriff’s Records Unit maintains booking data records and supplemental law-enforcement records. Public-record requests are reviewed for exemptions before release.
- Go to the Sheriff’s Receive a Report/Public Records page.
- Open the electronic public-records request portal.
- Provide the person’s full name and as much identifying information as you know.
- Clearly describe the booking, arrest report or other record requested.
- Keep the request number and security key so you can track the request.
The Records Unit is at 800 SE Monterey Road, Stuart, FL 34994, phone 772-220-7050, and normally lists public counter hours of Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Some inmate, juvenile, victim and investigative information can be confidential, exempt or redacted under Florida law. A public-record request does not guarantee that every requested detail can legally be released.
County Jail vs. State Prison vs. Court Search

| Is the person currently in Martin County Jail? | Martin County Sheriff jail inmate search |
| Who was booked during the last 10 days? | Martin County Sheriff Recent Bookings |
| Current charges, bond or jail release information | Martin County Booking Unit / Corrections |

An arrest or jail booking does not establish guilt or prove a conviction. Charges can be amended, dismissed or resolved differently in court. When the final outcome matters for employment, housing, licensing, legal or other important decisions, verify the court record rather than relying only on a jail page.

Best Way to Get a Reliable Answer
Use the jail roster for present custody, Recent Bookings for a new arrest, the Booking Unit for charges/bond/release questions and the Martin County Clerk for the actual criminal case. This sequence avoids confusing an arrest record with a conviction and reduces the chance of relying on outdated third-party information.
Jail status, visitation providers, deposit systems and operational rules can change. Use the linked official source for the final transaction or same-day custody decision.
