Arenac Release Record Requests
The County Clerk and FOIA Coordinator receives written requests for existing county records. A narrow request may identify the person, booking period, release entry, recorded out date and time, release type, receiving agency, and booking photograph. The office generally responds under Michigan FOIA timing rules, but that does not guarantee immediate release confirmation.

Choose the Right Route
Each request belongs with the agency that created the record:
- Use the home search and records path to distinguish county, state, federal, and immigration custody.
- Check Post-Release Supervision for parole, state probation, and absconder status sources.
- Use 24-Hour Releases for the same-day Arenac fallback when no official feed exists.
- Compare state sentence fields on Release Date Lookup and register alerts through VINE Inmate Check.
- Open Arenac County Jail for the facility-specific release route.
- Use MDOC OTIS for a sentenced Michigan prisoner, BOP for federal custody, and ICE ODLS for immigration custody.
