Iowa Department of Corrections Inmate Search

Step 1: Visit the Iowa offender search page, where you will see the search below:

Step 2: Enter the Iowa offender number if known to be taken directly to that inmate. Otherwise, enter as much as information as you know about the prisoner, such as first and last name, and click the ‘Find’ button.

Step 3: On the next page, you’ll find a list of inmates matching your the information you entered.  The list includes full given name, date of birth, and an offender number for future reference. Results will also include names that sound like the name you entered or based on aliases that have been used.

Step 4: Click on a name you’re interested in and you will be taken to a page with a location of the inmate (or person on probation), and a list of current and former offenses that have been charged to the person.

Other Iowa Criminal Records

Iowa Sex Offender Search
The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (part of the Department of Public Safety) has created a searchable public registry of sex offenders for the state of Iowa.  After accepting the terms and conditions, you will be able to search by name, location, or and other identifiers (such as email, telephone, and vehicle). Advanced searches allow for very refined searches about the offender, such as physical traits, or by the type of crime/victim.

Once you have submitted a search, you will be given a list of results, which include a small photo, primary residential address, and date of birth. Hovering over the photo will show you other small photos on file for the offender.

Clicking on the offender name or photo will take you to a detailed sex offender profile page, which includes larger versions of the available photos, a physical description, all addresses and vehicles associated with the sex offender, and information about the sex crimes committed.

Iowa Most Wanted
While each individual Iowa county and major city police department has its own list of most wanted criminals, the Iowa DCI does provide a list of most wanted sex offenders who have either failed to keep up with their registration or otherwise fled from justice.
