Mineral County Busted Mugshots is a private reference resource, not a government office. We cannot confirm a custody status, arrange a release, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Direct those requests to the public office that holds the record.
Official Mineral County Contacts
Mineral’s public custody and records path is split among the sheriff, the regional jail, local agencies, and the courts. The county’s current sheriff contact information and state directories do not use the same address and phone block, so call before sending a formal request to confirm the proper custodian and mailing destination.

Keyser, WV 26726

Fax: 304-788-4102
Email: jewhisner@mineralsheriff.com
Tip-line office hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The magistrate search can identify a case, but documents are not posted online. Ask the clerk about copies and the applicable copy charge.
West Virginia Code §29B-1-3 supports inspection and copying requests made with reasonable specificity, subject to exemptions. No official Mineral booking-photo fee, request form, or guaranteed turnaround was located. Ask for an electronic copy if available and an itemized actual reproduction cost.
