Where to Go for Self-Surrender at Maricopa County Jail (And What to Bring)

If you're reporting for court-ordered confinement in Maricopa County, showing up at the right place with the right paperwork matters. Here's exactly where to self-surrender and what to bring so you don't get turned away.

• 2 min read Verified from official sources

Self-surrender check-in happens at the Maricopa County Intake, Transfer and Release (ITR) facility at 2670 S. 28th Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85009. This is the same intake location used for police custody bookings and releases, and it's where all self-surrenders are processed.

Report on the exact date and time listed on your court order. Self-surrenders go to the ITR at 2670 S. 28th Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85009 at the court-ordered time. Don't guess or pick a different day.

Bring your court-issued Confinement Order and a valid government photo ID. Showing up without either one can get you refused entry, and that creates bigger problems with your court compliance.

If you have health issues that could affect your confinement, contact Maricopa County Correctional Health Services (CHS) ahead of time. You can email CHSSelfSurrender@maricopa.gov or call 602-876-6884. Messages are retrieved daily, so reaching out early gives CHS time to review your information before you arrive.
