Fulton County Booking Reports

Fulton County booking reports are public records maintained by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office in Atlanta, Georgia. The county is Georgia's most populous and covers Atlanta along with numerous other cities. The Fulton County jail processes a high volume of bookings each day. This page explains how to search Fulton County booking records, what the official online database shows, and what other resources are available for finding inmate information.

Fulton County Sheriff's Office Inmate Search

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office provides two ways to look up inmate information online. The main inmate search portal is available at fcsoga.org/inmate-search/. There is also a direct database access point through the Tyler Technologies jail management system at portal-gafulton.tylertech.cloud. Both tools are offered as a public service.

The sheriff's office has stated publicly: "This database is offered by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office as a service to the public and members of the Fulton County justice system." They also note that the database "is updated once per day and, as such, no warranty is expressed or implied as to the accuracy or completeness of any information obtained through the use of this service." Additionally, the sheriff confirms: "All individuals can receive this service at no additional cost."

The Fulton County Jail is located at 901 Rice Street, NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. The sheriff's office administrative address is 185 Central Ave SW, Atlanta, GA 30303. The main phone number for the sheriff's office is 404-612-5100.

Note: Because the database is updated once daily, very recent bookings may not appear right away. If someone was booked within the past 24 hours, call the jail directly to confirm their status.

Using the Fulton County Inmate Search Portal

The official portal at fcsoga.org is the primary public-facing tool for Fulton County inmate searches. You can search by name and see current booking status, charges, and bond information.

The Tyler Technologies jail management system provides a second database option with detailed booking records.

This system, built on Tyler Technologies software, is what jail staff use internally. The public-facing version shows booking records including status, charges, bond amount, and related case information. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office uses this system to manage the largest county jail population in Georgia.

What Fulton County Booking Records Include

A Fulton County booking record shows the person's full legal name, date of birth, booking date and time, all charges filed at intake, bond information, and current custody status. The Tyler Technologies system also tracks case numbers, charge details, and the arresting agency. Multiple charges appear on one booking record when several counts were filed at once.

Booking photos are part of intake at the Fulton County Jail. Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 restricts how these photos can be used commercially. Third parties that publish booking photos for profit face legal restrictions under this statute. Individuals may request removal of their photos from commercial websites under conditions the law specifies.

Charges listed in a booking record reflect what was filed at arrest. The Fulton County District Attorney's Office reviews cases and can change, add, or drop charges. Court records held by the Fulton County Superior Court clerk will reflect the final outcome of any case. A booking record alone does not tell you how a case was resolved.

Open Records Access in Fulton County

Georgia's Open Records Act applies to all Fulton County booking records. The exemptions are at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72. Standard booking data is not exempt. The county must respond to written records requests within three business days. Because Fulton County offers online access through its official portal, many requests can be handled without a formal Open Records submission. For records not available online — such as older historical bookings — a written request submitted to the sheriff's office is the right approach.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act for all services, including inmate search access. This means the service must be provided equally regardless of race, color, or national origin. The online database is free to all users.
