Which system is holding them in New Hampshire?
There is no single search that covers everyone. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.
If the arrest was recent
Start with the local jail
Public custody information for participating agencies only. Not every jail participates, and offline agencies may not report current bookings.
Select Name or ID Number and use the displayed criteria. Review the agency and current custody status on any result, and check service notices/offline agencies. If nothing appears, contact the responsible local agency.
A state service link does not establish that this county’s bookings are included. Use a verified local route when available.
Service instructions reviewed 2026-10-05. Public search controls were reached; individual search results were not checked.
If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.
If they were sentenced to prison
Use the correctional locator
For a state-prison sentence, use the New Hampshire correctional locator.
A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail.
A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

If the charge is federal
Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons
A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.
Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.
Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.
For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.

Find your area in New Hampshire
Find the area where the arrest happened. County and city matches identify geography; confirm custody using the responsible agency’s assistance. A place may span several areas.
City and town matches use the 2026 Census places and active municipal subdivisions, with exact county memberships. Custody arrangements are researched separately. Municipal police holding and jail transfers may differ from the county route.
No area matches that. Try the full city, town or county name, or contact the arresting agency.
Finding your person in New Hampshire, step by step
Work through these in order. Each step points to an official source — you do the searching there, on the government site.
Step 1
Match the custody system
Public custody information for participating agencies only. Not every jail participates, and offline agencies may not report current bookings. Select Name or ID Number and use the displayed criteria. Review the agency and current custody status on any result, and check service notices/offline agencies. If nothing appears, contact the responsible local agency.
Contact the arresting agency or responsible jail. New bookings, transfers, excluded populations and offline agencies may not appear online. A missing result does not establish release.
Use BOP for BOP records, a U.S. Marshals district contact for federal pretrial questions, and ICE ODLS/ERO contacts for immigration. These systems have different coverage and disclosure limits.
You can start with just a name, but these make a match faster and surer.

The exact name or agency identifier requested by that service. Date of birth is useful where the service offers it; it is not required by every tool.
The arrest location and responsible agency, if known. Check whether the roster is current custody or historical bookings.
Use official, free sources — and a few things to watch for
Use free agency resources or an explicitly agency-endorsed public service. Do not pay a records broker to run these public searches.
A county filter in a state-prison search is not proof that it includes every county-jail booking.
Check participating agencies and outage notices. Use an agency contact when records are missing or unavailable.
Do not infer release or housing location from a missing record, a facility listing or geographic proximity.
If you need to bail them out in New Hampshire
Finding the person comes first. Once you know where they are, this is how getting them out works in New Hampshire.
Commercial bail available
Release depends on the court’s order. A payment is not required in every case. If a secured bond is ordered, ask the court which options are permitted; a private commercial bond service has separate fees and conditions. Confirm the process before paying anyone.
The court decides release and any conditions.
Ask the court or the responsible jail which forms of payment, if any, the order permits, how payments are made, and what refund or forfeiture conditions apply.
Fees for a private commercial service are separate from court deposits.
Do not assume that payment guarantees release.
The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.
Other official New Hampshire contacts
For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing. These statewide sources can also help.
