Oregon Inmate Search

The Oregon Department of Corrections provides prisoner information on the Oregon Offender Search (OOS) portal. The inmate data on the website is accessible to the public, law enforcement, judicial officers, and victims. 

The process of conducting an Oregon inmate search will involve the steps below. 

Step 1: Visit the Oregon Department of Corrections website and click on the Oregon adult in custody link. 

Step 2: On the Oregon offender locator, fill in the inmate's first, middle, and last name or their SID number. 

Step 3: The search results will include the SID number, official names, and date of birth of inmates with closely related names like your search criteria 

Step 4: Click on the SID number to view details about the specific inmate. You will get detailed personal information about the inmate, including their prison location, status, physical appearance identifiers, admission date, and estimated release dates. You will also have access to their current and previous offense lists and any aliases they may use. 

Step 4: The inmate details include a VINE (Victim Information Notification every day) link of the offender. On VINE, the victims, their families, friends, or law enforcement personnel can register to get updated custody status notifications sent to their phones or emails.  

The Oregon Department of Corrections also provides a sex offender locator from its level three sex offender registry on its website. You can search for inmates convicted of level 3 sex offenses in Oregon on the locator. 

To get an official copy of the offender's information, you must submit a public record request on the department's website. 

If the Department of Corrections website doesn't have the information you need about a prisoner, you can ask for offender records or call the department at (503) 570-6919.
