Step-by-Step

How to Find Someone Arrested in Nassau County

1

Search the Nassau County Sheriff's Office Inmate Roster

Your first move is the official Nassau County inmate search, run by the Sheriff's Office at nassauso.com. Search by first and last name. Records generally appear 2 to 6 hours after booking. If nothing shows, try again in an hour or call the jail at (904) 225-0331.

2

Note the Booking Number, Charges, and Bond

Once the entry shows up, note the booking number along with the charges and the bond amount. Jail staff, bail bond agents, and defense attorneys will each ask for this information when you follow up.

3

Contact a Florida-Licensed Bail Bond Agent

Once a bond is on file, a bail bond agent licensed in Florida can post it in exchange for a 10% non-refundable premium (this rate is regulated by the Florida Department of Financial Services, not negotiable). On a $5,000 bond, the bondsman premium is $500. Paying the full bond in cash to the Clerk of Courts means you get it back after the case resolves.

4

Prepare for First Appearance

Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.130 mandates a first appearance within a day of arrest. In Nassau County that hearing is heard by the 4th Judicial Circuit. The judge checks probable cause, reads the charges, explains the defendant's rights, and fixes or adjusts bond. With counsel present, the bond can often be reduced on day one.

After You Locate Them

What to Do Next

Once you have found your loved one in the Nassau County jail, here are the four things to handle right away.

⚖

Post Bond

A Florida-licensed bail bond agent charges 10% of the bond as a non-refundable premium. Cash bond is refundable after the case resolves regardless of outcome.

⚖️

Hire an Attorney

A lawyer present at first appearance can advocate for reduced bond or release on recognizance. The 4th Circuit Public Defender serves qualifying defendants.

📅

Attend First Appearance

Florida law requires first appearance within 24 hours of arrest (Rule 3.130). The judge reviews probable cause, reads charges, and sets or revises bond. Get the hearing time from the Clerk of Courts.

📞

Set Up Communication

Account setup with the jail's phone provider (typically Securus, GTL ViaPath, or ICSolutions) must happen before any outbound call. VINELink registration delivers release alerts automatically.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions, Nassau County Jail

Booking time depends on charge severity: misdemeanors clear in 4 to 8 hours, felonies take 8 to 14 hours. The process covers fingerprinting, FCIC and NCIC warrant checks, medical intake, and housing classification. Public records appear online 2 to 6 hours after booking completes.
Nassau County is served by the 4th Judicial Circuit of Florida. Felonies and first appearances are typically heard at the county courthouse in Yulee. Misdemeanors and traffic cases are handled in County Court within the same circuit.
No. Florida's Sunshine Law (Chapter 119) mandates that all official sheriff inmate searches be provided free. This site is free. Our phone line is free. Third-party sites that charge are reselling the same free public records that Nassau County Sheriff's Office publishes directly.
Commissary in Florida county jails is usually handled by a third-party service like Keefe Commissary, Access Corrections, or TouchPay. Deposits work online, by phone, or at on-site lobby kiosks. Call the jail at (904) 225-0331 or check the Nassau County Sheriff's Office website for the current contracted provider.
You cannot call the jail and be transferred to an inmate. Inmates initiate calls outbound via the jail's phone vendor. Create an account with the vendor, add prepaid funds, and the inmate can then reach you. Visitation has mostly moved to video (remote apps or jail kiosks) across Florida; contact the jail for the most current visitation schedule and rules.
Release typically takes 4 to 10 hours after bond is posted with the Clerk of Courts, depending on jail volume that day. Weekends, holidays, and late-night postings stretch this closer to 12 to 24 hours. Any active holds (probation violations, ICE detainers, warrants from another county) must clear before release can happen.
Nassau County Sheriff's Office holds pretrial defendants and those sentenced to 364 days or less. Sentences of more than one year on state felonies mean transfer to Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) (search at fdc.myflorida.com). Federal charges result in BOP custody (bop.gov/inmateloc). ICE detainees are housed at separate ICE facilities (locator.ice.gov).
First-class mail is accepted at the majority of Florida county jails and screened before delivery to the inmate. Write the inmate's complete legal name and booking number on the outside of the envelope. Check with Nassau County Sheriff's Office for the correct mailing address format. Never enclose cash, checks, gift cards, or packages in the envelope. Funds must go through the contracted deposit service.
