This is a private reference website, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, release anyone, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office for those services.
Choose the Correct Records Office
For county custody or a Benzie County Jail booking record, begin with the Benzie County Sheriff’s Office. The official office address is 505 S. Michigan Avenue, Beulah, MI 49617, and the main and records number is 231-882-4484. Published business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding holidays. The Sheriff FOIA page lists fax 231-882-5814. Because the web page and current form show different records email addresses, verify the designated coordinator by phone or mail the request to the physical address. Call 911 only for an emergency.
Use the source that matches the record or custody stage:
- For a booking record or photo, follow the written request steps on the home page and submit the request to BCSO.
- For a warrant question, use the official routes explained under Most Wanted Fugitives.
- For a recent arrest, current county custody, or the absence of a public roster, contact BCSO and review the county guide.
- For a release alert, use MI-VINE at 800-770-7657 or VINELink. It is a notification service, not a photo request channel.
- For a court filing or disposition, search MiCOURT and contact the clerk responsible for the official case file.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or qualifying parole or probation record, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search. MDOC FOIA can be reached at 517-335-4194 for state-held records.
- For federal prison custody or immigration detention, use the official Federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator. Neither is a Benzie County booking-photo source.
