This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, release anyone, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly.

Quay County Record Contacts

Start with the agency that created the record. The detention office is the direct contact for a county booking or release transaction. The Sheriff’s Office keeps its own investigative and arrest records. Posted public hours are not a promise that staff will disclose a person’s status by phone.

NMCD handles state prison and state supervision records, not Quay County jail records. Its central offices do not provide release-status updates, so use the offender search and the responsible institution or supervision office for current verification.

Choose the Right Office

Different release questions belong to different custodians:

  • Use the home search and records path to verify a released person or request a county release transaction.
  • Check parole and probation for NMCD community supervision and Region IV routing.
  • Use the 24-hour release list page for the direct-call and bounded-request fallback because Quay County publishes no official feed.
  • Compare a projected release date with a VINELink check without treating either as proof of departure.
  • Use the facility and custody-system pages in the footer when another agency received the person.
  • For an NMCD record, use the NMCD NextRequest portal; central NMCD offices do not provide release-status updates.
  • Use the BOP locator for sentenced federal custody and the ICE locator for civil immigration detention.
