This private reference site is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post a bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Please contact the office responsible for the record directly.
Custody, Records, and Court Offices
For current local custody, the Waushara County Jail is the verified first contact. For an existing booking report or photograph, contact Sheriff records and provide a specific name and date range. Records are reviewed before release, and a simple, readily identified request is generally handled in 7 to 10 business days. Documents and photographs are provided by pickup or U.S. mail, not email.

Townline Road, Wautoma, WI 54982, telephone 920-787-0441, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The public Wisconsin Circuit Court Access search is the online starting point for case information.
- Use the county records route for a clear explanation of jail, records, court, DOC, and notification channels.
- Use the WI DOC locator for eligible state correctional custody, not a fresh Waushara booking.
- Use the BOP locator for federal custody and the ICE detainee locator for immigration custody.
- For a non-emergency tip, Waushara Crime Stoppers lists 1-800-800-5219. Call 911 for an immediate emergency.
