VINE shows the facility, charges, and any photo on file. Anvil Mountain has no public online roster of its own, so you must call the jail or use VINE to find someone held there.

Nome jail mugshots are not posted on any public page. To get a booking photo, you file a records request. For Nome PD arrests, the request goes to the police records unit. For state prison bookings, it goes to the Alaska Department of Corrections. Name the booking number if you have one. Ask for "booking photograph" in plain words. Release is subject to AS 40.25.120 privacy rules.

The VINE inmate search is the first stop for anyone tracking Nome jail mugshots or checking the custody status of a Nome Census Area inmate.

Nome Police Department Records

The Nome Police Department is at 102 Front Street, Nome, AK 99762. The phone is (907) 443-5262. Nome PD takes city arrests, handles calls inside city limits, and books people at Anvil Mountain after processing. Most Nome jail mugshots from city arrests are held by the department's records unit.

Records requests go to Nome PD in writing. List the records you want. Give the date, place, and names tied to the incident. Add the case number if known. Processing takes 10 to 15 business days. Fees follow the Alaska Public Records Act. The department can deny or redact files when release would hit a privacy bar under state law.

The Nome Police Department also works with the Alaska State Troopers on cases that cross village lines. Trooper files go through the state DPS portal. Some arrests end up in both systems, so a request to one office may not pull every piece of the file. For a full pull, send the same request to both Nome PD and AST.

Nome Public Records Access

Under AS 40.25, Alaska agencies have 10 working days to answer a first records request. For Nome Census Area cases, extensions are common when files are spread across more than one office. Fees kick in after the first five hours of staff time. Copy fees stack on top. A clear written request helps staff find what you need.

Arrest logs and incident reports are often open. Criminal history reports are locked down under AS 12.62.160. Juvenile files are sealed. Mugshots are judged one by one. The agency looks at the privacy weight against the public interest. For help with a request, the Alaska Department of Law APRA page at law.alaska.gov/doclibrary/APRA.html has sample letters and appeal steps.

Nome residents can also visit the city clerk for non-police records tied to arrests. The city offices are at Nome City Hall on Front Street. Some records, like utility cutoffs tied to an arrest or housing actions tied to a conviction, are kept by city staff, not by Nome PD. A joint approach often works best in small towns where departments share space.
