How to See an Old Mug Shot in Oklahoma

Mugs shots aren't something people are proud of.

You’ve all seen the unattractive, unflattering photos of celebrities on the news in their mug shots; everyone who is arrested is required to pose for that photo, which is a matter of public record from that point on. Once a person is arrested on the suspicion of committing a crime in the State of Oklahoma they are taken to jail, booked and prepped to pose for those infamous mug shots. Once the photo is taken, the county records it and makes it public, no matter the age of the mug shot.

Instructions

1. Utilize a website such as mugshots.com or peoplerecords.com, which allows you to select a state and choose from the list of counties in the state from which to view mug shots. You can view a list of mug shots until you find the one you are looking for or you can enter the name of the suspect into a search box and perform a search for that criminal suspect.

2. Visit the website of the county jail in which the criminal was housed. The site provides access to mug shots from past and present inmates; all you have to do is visit the website and enter the name of the inmate in the search box.

3. Go to the website of any Oklahoma police department to view mug shots; each site requires slightly different navigation but all offer a selection of offenders you can choose from to view mug shots. You must search the police department site in the county or city where the suspect was arrested to find a mug shot.
