Arizona Source Guide
Official Arizona Record Sources
Not sure who to ask? This guide explains what the jail, sheriff, clerk, court, and corrections office can tell you.
Most Useful Source Split
Jails and corrections help with custody
Clerks and courts help with case outcomes
Agencies can explain the original event
One page cannot answer every question. Use the source that owns the fact you need.
Jail or Custody Sources
Use these for booking status, housing, release times, inmate location, and other custody facts.
Sheriff or Arresting Agency Sources
Use these for details about the arrest, agency, incident, and booking.
Clerk and Court Sources
Use the clerk or court for case numbers, hearings, filed charges, case results, and sentences.
Corrections Sources
Use these for prison records, sentences, and current prison status.
County Pages on Azrested
These pages help you find a record. The jail or court is the best place for current details.
Site Review Channels
These forms are for problems with an Azrested page. They do not replace the jail or court.
A Practical Way to Pick the Right Source
- Right booking? Check the name, date, number, and county.
- In custody now? Ask the jail or corrections department.
- What happened in court? Ask the clerk or court.
- Wrong page? Gather proof and use the review form.
The Right Source Depends on the Right Question
Pick the source based on your question. Use the jail for custody, the court for case results, and our form for a mistake on this site.
