Parole and Search Support
The Tennessee Board of Parole handles parole decisions and final-decision record requests. TDOC operates FOIL, while VINE has separate notification support. Choose the channel that owns the issue.

- Board public-records requests may require Tennessee citizenship proof and can involve copy fees.
- FOIL technical support: 629-888-5870 or 888-890-8183; apps.support@tn.gov.

Choose the Record Creator
Ask the sheriff about a booking or physical release. Ask the clerk about a court result. Ask TDOC about FOIL or supervision, and ask the Board about a parole decision. For federal BOP, USMS, or ICE records, use the agency-specific path on the federal release page. Clear routing prevents one office from being asked to verify a record it does not create.
