Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule visits, or retrieve official booking records. For those actions, use the responsible agency listed below.

Official Record Contacts

Bear Lake County jail and booking questions usually start with the sheriff's office because it operates Bear Lake County Jail. The county does not publish a separate county-hosted jail roster, so callers who need current custody status, booking confirmation, or records-request instructions should use the sheriff and jail contact below.

Bear Lake County Sheriff's Office / Jail

30 North Main Street
P.O. Box 365
Paris, ID 83261

Phone: (208) 945-2121
Fax: (208) 417-1858
Hours: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday-Friday

Other records may belong to a court, prosecutor, city police department, state corrections agency, or federal locator. Use the closest match below before sending a request.

  • Current local custody or jail records: call the Bear Lake County Sheriff's Office / Jail at (208) 945-2121 or use jail inmate records for the local lookup path.
  • Booking photos: start with jail roster mugshots, then request records from the sheriff if no public photo is available online.
  • Charges and case filings after booking: use court records after a jail arrest and contact the Bear Lake County court clerk at (208) 945-2155 ext. 6 for clerk routing.
  • Charging questions: contact the Bear Lake County Prosecuting Attorney's Office at 208-945-1438.
  • Montpelier city police reports: contact Montpelier Police Department at 208-847-1324. Custody outside city police reporting still routes to the sheriff's office.
  • Sentenced Idaho prisoners, parole, or probation: use the Idaho Department of Correction Resident/Client Search.
  • Custody-change notification: use VINELink Idaho, which is linked by the sheriff for offender lookup and custody notices.
  • Federal or immigration detention: use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for federal sentences or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for immigration detention.
