Nelson County Records Offices
The Nelson County Sheriff’s Office is at 210 Nelson County Plaza, Bardstown, KY 40004. Call 502-348-1840 for sheriff records questions. Nelson County Correctional Center is commonly listed at 810 West Stephen Foster Avenue, Bardstown, KY 40004, with phone 502-348-1860, but the county jail website was unavailable during research, so verify those facility details before visiting. The research did not establish public records-counter hours.
Choose the office that matches the present custody or record stage:
- For a county booking photo, current roster entry, recent booking log, or request steps, use the Nelson County records hub.
- For a possible active warrant, contact the court clerk or review the safe verification routes on Most Wanted Fugitives.
- For a recent arrest, search Nelson County JailTracker first, then ask the arresting police agency or jail records custodian.
- For a court disposition, case status, sealing, or expungement record, use the Nelson County Court of Justice and Circuit Court Clerk.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Kentucky Department of Corrections’ Kentucky Online Offender Lookup.
- For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. Immigration detention questions belong with the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
