Official Records Contacts
Current regional custody and agency-created reports have different custodians in Perry County. The County directory lists the Sheriff’s Office at 121 West Brown Street, Suite B, New Lexington, OH 43764, (740) 342-4123, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Ohio Attorney General directory uses a different Sheriff address, 110 West Brown Street, P.O. Box 107, New Lexington, OH 43764-0107. Confirm the appropriate records window before an in-person visit.
Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail is at 16677 Riverside Drive, Nelsonville, OH 45764. Reception is (740) 753-4060 and the booking fax is (740) 753-4061. SEORJ has no reviewed public booking-photo request fee or turnaround, so ask reception which office is the record custodian and what procedure applies.
