A booking number is the identification number assigned to a person when they are booked into a county jail.
What Is Booking Number?
A booking number is the identification number assigned to a person when they are booked into a county jail. It is specific to that booking and that jail. The booking number is required for county jail communication accounts, money deposits, and mail. It is different from a court case number and different from the state DOC number assigned if the person is later sentenced to state prison.
