What Shows on a 72 Hour Booking Record

A standard Lincoln County booking record holds the basic facts about an arrest. The log lists the full name, the date of birth, the booking date and time, the agency that brought the person in, and the charges. It also notes the bail amount and the next court date if one is set. Some records show a mugshot. Others do not.

The Public Records Act under RCW 42.56 makes most of this open to anyone. You do not need to give a reason. You do not need to be a relative or a lawyer. The Criminal Records Privacy Act at RCW 10.97 sets limits on what nonconviction data can go out, so some old or sealed items may be held back.

• Full name and date of birth
• Booking date and time
• Charges and case number
• Arresting agency
• Bail or bond amount

The jail keeps the file even after release. You can ask for an old booking record by name and date.
