Hardee Records Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking file. Contact the agency that holds the record.

For a Hardee County jail booking or release sheet, contact the HCSO Records Custodian at 900 East Summit Street, Wauchula, FL 33873; records@hardeeso.com; (863) 773-0304, extensions 230 or 269; or fax (863) 773-4593. Requests may also be sent through the official HCSO app. The sheriff gives 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. as its reasonable inspection-time example. Verify hours before visiting.

For an FDC release record, contact the Bureau of Admission and Release at (850) 488-9167 or dc.release@fdc.myflorida.com. FDC's central address is 501 South Calhoun Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-2500, and the main number is (850) 488-7052. The research does not state a dedicated public counter schedule for release records, so confirm access before visiting. FDC's online public-record request is the copy route when the offender databases do not supply enough detail.

The following routes separate local jail records from court, state-prison, supervision, and federal custody records.

  • The home page gives the full named-person search and HCSO records-request sequence.
  • State or felony supervision belongs with FDC Office 105; county misdemeanor supervision belongs with Hardee County Probation.
  • A date-specific recent-release list should be requested from HCSO because no verified public rolling feed exists.
  • FDC's Bureau of Admission and Release handles state-prison release data at (850) 488-9167 or dc.release@fdc.myflorida.com.
  • The Hardee Clerk Criminal Division can be reached at (863) 773-4174, extension 7403, at 417 West Main Street, Room 202.
  • Florida VINE operates around the clock at 1-877-846-3435 for participating custody-event notifications.
  • Federal and immigration custody require the official BOP, USMS, or ICE channel rather than a Hardee jail search.
