Contact Richmond County Records Offices

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or pull an official booking record or photo. Contact the agency that created or maintains the record.


Where to Ask About a Jail Record

For Richmond County Jail booking, custody, charge, bond, release, or photo questions, start with the RCSO Inmate Information page and its current portal. The Sheriff’s Office lists 114 E. Franklin Street, Suite 105, Rockingham, NC 28379, mailing address 1 Court Street, Rockingham, NC 28379, and telephone 910-895-3232. The jail page lists 1 Court Street and jail-administrator telephone 910-997-8248.

A dated 2024 detention directory identifies Records Unit contact Amalia Romero at 910-997-8264, jail telephone 910-997-8265, fax 910-997-8262, and jailofficer@richmondnc.com. Verify the directory information before sending a request. Give the person’s name, approximate admit date, arresting agency, booking number if known, and the exact record sought. No current photo fee or response time is posted.


Choose the Right Official Route

Use these paths for different questions:

  • For a mugshot or booking record, use the county search and records-request guide, then contact RCSO or the jail.
  • For a Rockingham incident, Rockingham Police lists 311 E. Franklin Street, 910-895-2468, info@rockinghampd.gov, and weekday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. report hours.
  • For a Hamlet incident, use City Hall’s 2024 Public Records Request Form and its 201 Main Street address, 910-582-2651, with hours shown as 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
  • For an Ellerbe incident, ask the town which agency holds the record. The town lists 108 West Page Street, 910-652-6251, fax 910-652-3736, and weekday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. hours.
  • For a court event or disposition, use NC Court Dates, the eCourts Portal, or the Richmond County Judicial Branch page.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the NCDAC offender search and its public-records contact, not the county jail roster.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator, recognizing that neither is a county photo source.

Questions About This Website

The Sheriff, jail, police department, court, NCDAC, BOP, or ICE must receive a request about the record they maintain.
