Custer County Records Contacts
The Custer County Sheriff’s Office operates the jail and is the verified first contact for a current local booking record or booking photograph. Its public-facing hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The public-records form identifies the following records contact:
Custer County Sheriff’s Office130 S. 9th Street
Challis, ID 83226
Mail: P.O. Box 344, Challis, ID 83226
Phone: (208) 879-2232

A specific need should go to the source that controls that record:
- For a booking sheet or photograph, follow the request steps on the Custer County recent-arrests hub and submit a narrow request to the sheriff.
- For a same-day booking check, use Arrested Today; no official online Custer feed was located, so the sheriff is the fallback.
- For a wider date range, see Arrest Reports and ask for a defined booking-log period.
- For a docket or final outcome, use Idaho iCourt or contact the Custer County court clerk at (208) 879-2360.
- For custody alerts, use the VINE Arrest Check; confirm county participation when a record cannot be found.
- For a person under state correctional authority, use the Idaho Department of Correction Resident/Client Search or its public-records portal.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the separate Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator linked from the home page.
