Columbia County Records Contacts

For immediate questions about a Columbia County Prison release or transfer, start with the prison. Ask whether Records holds the specific movement or release entry you need. Documentary requests under Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law go to the county Open Records Officer on the county’s required form.

The county page requires its Right-to-Know request form. General courthouse hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; confirm holiday schedules before visiting.

Choose the Correct Office

A release question belongs with the agency that held the person or issued the controlling order. These routes keep a county record, state supervision record, and federal custody result from being confused:

• Use the home page for the complete Columbia County released-person search and records-request path.
• Call Columbia County Adult Probation and Parole at 570-389-5650 for local reporting directions; use the parole and probation page to distinguish county from state supervision.
• Use the 24-hour release route for a same-day county event, since Columbia County publishes no online recent-release list.
• Check the release-date sources for sentence records, or use the VINELink instructions for PA SAVIN alerts.
• Use the Pennsylvania DOC locator for a state-sentenced person and DOC-supervised parolee.
• Use the BOP locator for a sentenced federal prisoner. Use ICE ODLS or the ICE information line at 1-888-351-4024 for immigration custody.

For a Common Pleas order or certified docket, the Columbia County Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts is at 35 West Main Street, Bloomsburg, and can be reached at 570-389-5614. Bring a name or docket number and ask for a specific record.
