Navajo County jail roster: what a booking record shows.
A booking record is made when someone is taken into custody at the Navajo County Jail. It is an arrest-stage record: it says the person was booked on a date, on the charges written down at booking, and whether bond was set. It never says the person was convicted.
Most official rosters list only the people held now, so an entry usually comes down after release.
What a Navajo County booking record shows
Navajo County arrest records: arrest, charge and outcome. Three records, three places.
Booking at the Navajo County Jail
Shows that someone was arrested in Navajo County and what they were booked on. Searchable here through the Navajo County Jail roster.
Filed in the Superior Court
Prosecutors decide what to charge. A felony goes to the Superior Court; a misdemeanor to the Justice Court or a municipal court. The charge filed can differ from the charge at booking.
Disposition in the court file
Conviction, dismissal or acquittal is in the court record, kept by the Clerk of the Superior Court. Arizona court records in the search carry it where the court publishes it.
An arrest record alone never proves a crime. Read the guide to arrest records for how bookings, charges and dispositions differ, and why a dismissed charge can still appear.
Navajo County court records: finding a case and its outcome.
In Arizona, felony cases from Navajo County are heard in the Superior Court, and misdemeanors in the Justice Court or a municipal court. The Clerk of the Superior Court keeps the case files, which is where a disposition, a sentence and later sealing or expungement orders are recorded.
Arizona’s statewide court source is part of a name search here, so a result can show how a case ended, not only that it began.
Finding a Navajo County case yourself
- Get the full name and a date of birth; a case number, if you have one, is faster still.
- Search the Arizona Judicial Branch Public Access Case Lookup: apps.azcourts.gov.
- For a certified copy of a judgment, ask the Clerk of the Superior Court; certified copies usually carry a small fee.
Navajo County mugshots: where booking photos are published.
A booking photo is taken at the Navajo County Jail when someone is booked. Where Navajo County publishes it, it appears on the official roster, usually only while the person is held.
OffenderSearch does not show or sell booking photos, and never charges to remove anything. A photo on a commercial mugshot site is not a conviction, and several states restrict sites that charge to take one down.

Navajo County criminal records FAQ
How do I find out if someone is in the Navajo County jail?
Search the person's name here: the search covers the Navajo County Jail roster, Arizona state prisons, and federal custody, and each result names the facility. Adding an age or date of birth tells people with the same name apart.
Where are Navajo County court records kept?
Felony cases from Navajo County are heard in the Superior Court, and the Clerk of the Superior Court keeps the case files. Misdemeanors go to the Justice Court or a municipal court. Arizona's judiciary also runs a public case search, the Arizona Judicial Branch Public Access Case Lookup.
Does Arizona publish a statewide warrant list?
Not one that is part of our search. To check for a warrant in Navajo County, ask the sheriff's office or the Clerk of the Superior Court; a name search here still covers the Navajo County Jail roster and Arizona court records.
Is an arrest in Navajo County the same as a conviction?
No. A booking at the Navajo County Jail records an arrest and the charges at that moment. Whether the person was convicted is decided in the Superior Court (for a misdemeanor, the Justice Court or a municipal court), and only the court record shows the outcome. Court records in the search carry that outcome where the court publishes it.
Does OffenderSearch show Navajo County mugshots?
No. Booking photos are not shown or sold here. Where Navajo County publishes a photo, it is on the sheriff's official roster. No law requires anyone to pay a website to remove a booking photo, and several states restrict sites that charge for it.

About 605 on our index have an address in Navajo County. The Navajo County sex offender registry page has the count, a map and a search by address.
Can I use a Navajo County criminal record search to hire someone or rent to them?
No. A search here is not a consumer report. A hiring, tenant, credit or insurance decision needs an FCRA-regulated report from a consumer reporting agency, with the person's written consent.
