Official Records Contacts

This private reference cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the public office that holds the particular record or status information.


Where to Direct a Request

Use the responsible custodian, not a private website, for a current status or record. The official contact checked for Sheriff Joe Smith is the Mingo County Sheriff's Office, 78 East 2nd Avenue, Williamson, WV 25661, main phone 304-235-0300. No separately published sheriff records line or public online request form was located. Confirm the mailing address by phone before sending a request because other public directories have listed different street numbers.

Regional jail: Southwestern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, 1300 Gaston Caperton Drive, Holden, WV 25625, 304-239-3032. The WVDCR facility serves Mingo County, even though Holden is outside the county.

For a court file or disposition, the Mingo Circuit Clerk is listed at 78 East Second Avenue, Room 232, Williamson, WV 25661, 304-235-0320. The office can address court-record questions that are different from a current regional-jail status check.

  • Use the Mingo County records hub for official daily, jail, prison, and court lookup paths.
  • Use Sheriff's Most Wanted for safe warrant-verification contacts and court routes.
  • Use WVDCR's official search and VINE resources for regional custody and notifications.
  • Use the city police department first for a city-held incident record, then WVDCR for a regional booking record.
  • Use the Mingo magistrate or circuit path for a charge, filing, or disposition question.
