PADOC Inmate Locator for Blair County Commitments
When a Blair County resident receives a state prison sentence, they are transferred from the county jail to a Pennsylvania Department of Corrections facility. The PADOC inmate locator direct portal allows you to search for these individuals across all 24 state correctional institutions. The tool searches by first name, last name, middle name, inmate number, or parole number. No login is required, and the system is available around the clock.
The image below shows the PADOC inmate locator, which tracks the Pennsylvania prison population including state-sentenced individuals from Blair County.
Setting the committing county filter to Blair returns only individuals whose cases originated in Blair County, regardless of where they are currently housed within the state system.
Results from the locator include the full name, date of birth, inmate number, current facility, and committing county. Clicking on the inmate number opens a detail page with a photo, any known aliases, and a physical description. The locator is updated every day to reflect current custody status. It covers more than 36,000 incarcerated individuals held across the state system on any given day. County jail inmates at Blair County Prison do not appear in this database. For those individuals, use the county roster or contact the prison directly at 814-693-3100.
Note: Middle name and date of birth fields in the locator are self-reported by the inmate and may not always be accurate, so searching by last name alone often produces the most complete results.
Blair County Court Records Lookup
Court records for Blair County are available through the Pennsylvania UJS case search portal. The Blair County Courthouse is at 423 Allegheny Street, Hollidaysburg, PA 16648. The Court of Common Pleas handles felony criminal matters. Magisterial District Courts manage traffic violations, summary offenses, and preliminary hearings for more serious charges.
The UJS portal is free to use and does not require registration. Search by defendant name, case number, or docket number.

Certified copies of court documents can be requested from the Clerk of Courts for a fee. Public access terminals are available at the courthouse for on-site research.
Blair County Right-to-Know and Open Records Process
The Right-to-Know Law at 65 P.S. sections 67.101 through 67.3104 gives Pennsylvania residents the right to request records held by county government agencies. Blair County accepts RTK requests through its official channels. Each county department has a designated Agency Open Records Officer who processes requests. The standard response time is five business days. Copies cost $0.25 per page for standard documents.
If Blair County denies a request or fails to respond within the required time, the requester may appeal to the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records at openrecords.pa.gov. The OOR is based in Harrisburg and accepts appeals online. RTK phone support for DOC-related questions is available at (717) 728-7763. Not all records are available under the RTKL. Criminal history information protected by CHRIA (18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91) may be withheld. Records sealed under the Clean Slate Act (Act 56 of 2018) are also not publicly available. The Clean Slate Act allows for automatic sealing of eligible convictions after the required waiting period, which affects what shows up in public record searches.
Note: Fee waivers are available for requests that serve a demonstrated public interest, subject to approval by the open records officer.
