Brunswick County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that created or holds the record.
Where to Request a Record
The following offices handle the questions listed. Include the person’s name, date, arresting agency, report number if known, and the exact record requested. Ask the custodian about access, timing, and any applicable charge.

Bolivia, NC 28422
Main: (910) 253-2777

For a detention report or booking photo, use the BCSO Records Request form. It has a Detention category, prefers digital delivery, and gives a reasonable-efforts target of 10 business days. No booking-photo-specific fee was published in the reviewed material.
- For a current inmate or recent release, use the BCSO inmate search. Released searches reach only the preceding 24 hours.
- For a city-held Leland record, use the Town of Leland public-records route or call Leland Police at (910) 371-1100.
- For an Oak Island police or town record, use the Oak Island Clerk and call (910) 201-8004 or Oak Island Police at (910) 278-5595.
- For a court case or disposition, use the Brunswick County court page and eCourts. The Clerk, not the Sheriff’s Records Division, holds the court file.
- For state custody, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction search. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator.
Questions This Service Cannot Answer
Only the government custodian can confirm a live custody status, charge, release, warrant, or court result. A person may leave the roster after bond or transfer while an older report remains. A booking record is an accusation, not a conviction.
- For a possible warrant, contact the BCSO Civil and Warrant Division at (910) 253-2734.
- For an immediate threat or emergency, call 911 rather than submitting a web tip.
- For a BCSO crime tip, use the official tip form. It is not an emergency service.
- For an expunction or sealing question, ask the Brunswick County Clerk and review the North Carolina Judicial Branch information.
- For a correction, start with the original custodian and provide the report URL or number, field, and proof.
