How to search the FDC inmate list
The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) runs a public search called Inmate Population Information Search. You can search by last name, first name or DC number.
- It covers people sentenced to state prison or state supervision, with current and prior offenses.
- People sentenced to county jail or county probation are not in it.
The number to write down is the DC number: six characters, all numbers or one letter followed by five numbers. You will need it to send money or mail, to set up calls and visits, and to find the same person again.

State prison, county jail or federal prison?
The Florida Department of Corrections holds people serving state prison sentences. Someone arrested in the last few days is almost always in a county jail instead, and will not show up in the state prison search yet. For a recent arrest, start with the county: open our Florida page and pick the county where the arrest happened.
People sentenced for federal crimes are held by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which has its own search. See federal inmate search (BOP).
After you find them
- Visits: most prisons require you to be on the person's approved visitor list first. How visiting works.
- Money: how to send money and how commissary works.
- Mail and calls: sending mail, phone calls and video visits.
- Release and transfer alerts: VINE notifications.
Questions
What do I need to search the FDC inmate list?
The Inmate Population Information Search lets you search by last name, first name or DC number. A full legal name or the ID number works best.
Someone was just arrested in Florida. Will they be in the FDC search?
Usually not. People who were just arrested are held in a county jail first. They are moved to a state prison only after a sentence to state prison. Check the county jail where the arrest happened.
Is searchinmates.org part of the Florida Department of Corrections?
No. searchinmates.org is a private website. It is not affiliated with the Florida Department of Corrections or any government agency. The department's own search is the source of record.
