Nassau County Arrest Records and Florida Law

Arrest records in Nassau County are public. Florida's Chapter 119 makes all county and municipal records open for inspection and copying. That includes mugshots, booking details, charge lists, and bond info. You can request these records from the Nassau County Sheriff without giving your name or explaining why you want them. The law is clear on this. Requesters can stay anonymous.

The Florida Department of State maintains a directory of all county jail search resources. The screenshot below shows this state-level page that includes links for Nassau County and every other Florida county.

There are some exceptions, though. Under Section 119.071 of the Florida Statutes, booking photos of law enforcement officers are exempt from public disclosure when they file a written request. Victim details in sexual offense cases stay confidential too. These rules apply in Nassau County just as they do everywhere else in the state. Apart from those narrow exceptions, arrest records are fully open to the public.

How Nassau County Bookings Work

The booking process in Nassau County follows a set pattern. Every arrest creates a permanent record. Law enforcement brings the person to the Nassau County jail in Yulee. From there, staff handle the intake.

During booking at the Nassau County jail, officers do the following:

• Take the mugshot photo
• Record the person's name, date of birth, and physical details
• Log all charges from the arresting officer
• Set bond based on the charge schedule
• Run a warrants check through state and national databases

Most of this data becomes searchable fairly quickly. Minor offenses in Nassau County typically come with a set bond amount. Felony charges may require a first appearance hearing before a judge sets the bond. People arrested on warrants from other counties or states may be held in the Nassau County jail until transfer arrangements are made. The 4th Judicial Circuit Court, which covers Nassau County along with Duval and Clay Counties, handles all criminal cases that come out of these bookings.

Request Nassau County Booking Records

You can file a formal public records request with the Nassau County Sheriff's Office if you need copies of arrest reports or mugshots. Call 904.548.4002 or visit the office in Yulee. Florida law does not require you to put the request in writing, though written requests help the office track your ask.

Standard copy fees follow state rules. Single-sided copies cost 15 cents per page. Double-sided are 20 cents. Certified copies can run up to $1.00 each. If pulling your records takes more than 30 minutes of staff time, the office may charge for labor on top of the copy costs. For a statewide background check that covers Nassau County and all 67 Florida counties, contact the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at 850.410.8109. The fee is $24.

Nassau County Mugshot Removal

If you want your mugshot taken out of the Nassau County system, Florida law gives you two options. Court-ordered sealing under Section 943.059 hides the record from the public. Expungement under Section 943.0585 destroys it. Both paths go through the FDLE seal and expunge process. The application costs $75, paid by money order. Processing takes about 12 weeks.

Once a Nassau County arrest record is sealed or expunged, the sheriff's office removes it from public access. But mugshots that already got copied to third-party websites may still show up in search results. Private sites have no legal duty to remove them. That is a common frustration for people who go through the process of clearing their Nassau County record only to find the image still living online.
