Tulsa County Jail Roster Help: Search, Confirm, Visit, Bond or Track a Case
Use this page like a family action desk. Start with the official Tulsa County Inmate Information Center, then confirm custody, booking ID, DLM number, bond route, court case, visitation, mail, property, and release alerts with the right office.
Start Here: What Are You Trying to Do?
Most Tulsa County jail searches fail because the person may be newly booked, already released, held on a city case, transferred, or listed under a different spelling. Use the quick route below.
| Searcher intent | Best official route | What to enter / ask | Do this next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find someone in Tulsa County Jail | Tulsa County Inmate Information Center | Last name, first name, booking ID, DLM number if known. | If no result, check spelling, wait for booking update, call 918-596-8900, and check municipal jail if it is a city case. |
| View all current bookings | Booking ID List | Sort by last name, first name, booking ID, booking date, gender, or DLM. | Open “Details” for charges, bond/court clues, and booking identifiers. |
| Confirm jail location | David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center | Full legal name, date of birth if available, booking ID/DLM number. | Ask whether the person is still in custody, released, transferred, or held elsewhere. |
| Check county court case | OSCN Tulsa docket search | Case number, party name, or citation number. | Match jail charges to court case type: CF felony, CM misdemeanor, TR traffic, PO protective order, etc. |
| Municipal Tulsa case or city jail | City of Tulsa Jail Hub | Name, booking date, municipal charge, citation. | Call Municipal Bonds at 918-596-9253 to confirm proper charges and bond amount. |
| Release notifications | Oklahoma VINE | Name, facility/county, offender details. | Register for custody-status notifications; do not rely on one source only if safety matters. |
Presumption-of-innocence note: an arrest, booking, warrant, roster entry, or charge does not mean a person has been convicted. Confirm court status with official court records or the Court Clerk.

How to Search the Tulsa County Jail Roster
Open the official Inmate Information Center
Start with iic.tulsacounty.org. If the name search page is unavailable, use the Booking ID List.
Search more than one way
Try last name only, first name only, hyphenated names, nicknames, maiden names, and common misspellings. Newly booked people may not appear immediately.
Record the identifiers
Write down booking ID, DLM number, booking date, full name, gender, and details link. You need these for mail, trust-fund deposits, visitation, and phone calls.
Open court lookup separately
Use OSCN Tulsa docket search for court case information. The jail roster and court docket are related, but they are not the same system.
If the person is not listed, split the search
Check Tulsa Municipal Jail, Oklahoma VINE, OSCN, and call DLM. A person may be in booking, released, transferred, at municipal jail, in DOC custody, or held by another agency.
What the Roster Details Usually Mean
| Roster field | Why it matters | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Booking ID | Unique booking event identifier. | Use when calling the jail or comparing the Booking ID List. |
| DLM number | Facility identifier connected to David L. Moss records. | Use for mail, money orders, visitation form, and custody questions. |
| Booking date | Shows when jail intake started. | New bookings may need time for bond/court data to update. |
| Charges | Shows alleged offenses or hold reasons. | Do not treat as conviction. Compare with OSCN court case once filed. |
| Bond / hold note | May point to release route or why release is not available. | Confirm with DLM or court/bond office before paying anyone. |
| Court case number | Connects jail record to court docket. | Search OSCN using exact number if available. |
| Agency / jurisdiction | Arresting or holding agency affects next steps. | County, city, state, tribal, federal, or ICE issues may require different offices. |
Do not pay a stranger from a search result: Tulsa County has warned about phone scams impersonating officials. Confirm bonds, warrants, and payments with official court/jail offices before sending money.
Tulsa County Jail vs Tulsa Municipal Jail

Tulsa County Jail / David L. Moss

Booking, Bond, Release and “Why Are They Not Out Yet?”
Booking intake
TCSO says new arrestees enter through booking, arrest reports are reviewed, people are searched, medical screening may occur, then photos/fingerprints/ID are completed.
Phone call stage
After processing, TCSO says the inmate is allowed to make phone calls to arrange bond payment or notify family/friends.
Common delay reasons
Medical screening, records verification, additional holds, court timing, bond type, warrant check, transfer status, or municipal/county split.
| Question | Best route | Ask exactly this |
|---|---|---|
| Is bond available? | DLM for county custody; Municipal Bonds for city case. | “Is there a bond amount, court hold, no-bond hold, or another agency hold?” |
| Where do I pay? | Confirm with official jail/court/bond office. | “Which office accepts this payment, what methods are allowed, and what receipt should I keep?” |
| Why does the roster show custody after release? | Call DLM and check VINE. | “Has release actually occurred, or is the online roster delayed?” |
| Is there a future court date? | OSCN Tulsa docket search or Court Clerk. | “Can you confirm next court date, courtroom, judge, and case number?” |
| Is the case municipal? | City of Tulsa court/jail route. | “Is this a municipal charge or Tulsa County District Court case?” |
