• ✓ Authorized pick-up person’s full name
• ✓ Date of birth (DOB)
• ✓ Street address
• ✓ City and state
• ✓ Driver’s license or ID number

If money is being released along with property, the same form has a dedicated money section with three labeled lines: “Amount in Account,” “Amount Released,” and “Account Balance.” When you’re at the desk, read those entries before you sign - those fields are how the release is documented, including what was in the account, what you’re receiving, and what should remain afterward.

At the bottom of the release section, the form is set up to record when the items and/or money were released, including the date and the time (AM/PM). It also requires two signatures: the pick-up person’s signature and a detention officer’s signature. Those signatures are what make the release official on paper, so don’t leave before you see both lines completed.

1. Fill out the Prisoner’s Property Release Form details - have the authorized pick-up person’s name, DOB, street address, city/state, and driver’s license/ID number ready.
2. Bring photo ID that matches the authorized pick-up information - the form relies on that ID number and identifying details.
3. Confirm where and when property releases are handled before you go - the form doesn’t tell you the hours or the exact pickup location.
4. Verify the money section (if applicable) - check the “Amount in Account,” “Amount Released,” and “Account Balance” entries before anything is finalized.
5. Sign and confirm the release is documented - make sure the release date/time is filled in and that both the pick-up person and the detention officer sign the form.
