On Monday, the former president said he would be travelling to Georgia to be arrested.
After he turned himself in, Mr Trump had mug shot taken – the first time that a current or former president has ever appeared in a booking photo.
Mr Trump has described the indictment as a politically motivated effort to derail his reelection campaign for 2024.
He has not entered a plea but has denied all wrongdoing.
In Georgia, Mr Trump and 18 other defendants have been charged with a total of 41 criminal counts in connection with efforts to reverse his 2020 election defeat in the state.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told those charged that they had until noon on Friday to surrender to authorities.
