This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly.
Who Holds the Record
For a current jail or booking question, begin with the official local contact. The county has not published a separate records-unit email, booking line, FOIA coordinator, or sheriff lobby hours.
Ontonagon County Sheriff’s Department
620 Conglomerate
Ontonagon, MI 49953
906-884-4901
Ask the sheriff’s office to confirm the current FOIA coordinator and preferred request method.
Choose the route that fits the question:
- For a booking record or photograph, use the sheriff contact above and the request steps on the home guide.
- For a just-booked person, call the sheriff because no verified official online roster or same-day feed was found.
- For arraignment, bond, or case disposition, contact the 98-2 District Court at 906-884-2865 or use the appropriate court office at 725 Greenland Road.
- For state prison or supervision information, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS offender search.
- For a custody-change alert, use MI-VINE or call its statewide line at 1-800-770-7657.
- For federal prison or immigration detention, use the separate BOP or ICE locator because those records are not county-jail records.
The Ontonagon County Courthouse lists general hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; most offices close from noon to 1 p.m. Those are courthouse hours, not verified sheriff or jail lobby hours.
