The Iredell County jail roster is a publicly accessible record of individuals currently held at the Iredell County Detention Center in North Carolina. IredellCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates. You can also search the roster through the Iredell County Sheriff's Office Inmate Locator, by calling the detention center, or by visiting in person. A jail roster search lets the public confirm whether someone is in custody, view the charges against them, and find basic booking details. The Iredell County Sheriff's Office maintains this roster through its Police-to-Citizen (P2C) online portal, and the list is updated as bookings and releases occur.

Find Iredell Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the Iredell County Detention Center. This record documents the administrative details of the intake and serves as the official account of the person's entry into custody.
Information generated at booking typically includes:
- Booking number
- Date and time of booking
- Charges at the time of arrest
- Arresting or booking agency
- Demographic information (name, age, race, sex)
The most direct way to access current booking records online is through the P2C Inmate Inquiry page. This page shows inmates currently in custody along with their primary charge, arrest date, and booking agency.
For records beyond what the online roster displays, you can submit a request through the Iredell County Sheriff's Office Records Division. If you need court-related records tied to a criminal case, the North Carolina Judicial Branch court records portal provides access to criminal case information statewide. You may also visit the Iredell County Clerk of Superior Court office in person to view paper case files.
If the person has been transferred to state prison, use the NC Department of Adult Correction Offender Search to locate them.
Search the Iredell Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Iredell County P2C inmate roster supports two practical approaches for finding an individual:
Search by Last Name
The roster page lists inmates alphabetically. Scroll through the list or use your browser's find function to type in a last name. If you know the first name, include it to narrow results — especially for common surnames.
Practical tips:
- Use the person's full legal name. Nicknames and aliases may not appear in the system.
- Double-check spelling. A single wrong letter can cause the name to be missed.
- If a hyphenated last name doesn't return results, try searching each part separately.
Search by Booking Number
If you already have a booking number — from a bond receipt, attorney correspondence, or prior lookup — use the browser find function to search for that number on the roster page.
No Results?
If your search returns nothing, consider these possibilities:
- The person may have already been released or transferred.
- The booking may not yet be reflected on the roster due to processing time.
- The person may be held under a different name or a legal name you are not aware of.
- The individual may be in state custody rather than county custody. Check the NC Offender Search for state prison inmates.
You can also call the detention center at (704) 878-3180 to verify custody status directly.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Iredell
The Iredell County P2C inmate roster is updated on a rolling basis as bookings and releases are processed. However, there can be a delay between the time someone is physically booked into the facility and when their record appears online. This gap is typically short but may be longer during high-volume periods such as weekends or holidays.
Key limitations to keep in mind:
- Current custody only. The roster reflects people who are in the detention center right now. Once an inmate is released, transferred, or bonded out, their record is removed from the active list.
- Not an archive. The P2C roster is not a historical database. It does not store past bookings for public browsing. If you need older records, contact the Sheriff's Office Records Division or search through the North Carolina court system.
- Data entry lags. Charges shown on the roster reflect what was entered at the time of booking. Charges may later be modified, added, or dropped by the District Attorney's office — those changes may not be reflected on the jail roster.
- Incomplete information. Some fields may be blank if information was not available at the time of intake.
