The Santa Fe District Attorney's Office was negotiating with Baldwin's legal team to obtain consent to retrieve the phone and it's contents after the sheriff's department issued a warrant for the phone.
Baldwin's attorney said in a statement to Forbes that the actor's phone is being turned over to authorities this week.
On Saturday, Baldwin posted a video on the social media site in which he called reports that he wasn't complying with the search warrant for his phone "bullst" and "a lie" and said he was going to comply with the request.
The actor said he is going through a process that takes time and he is dealing with multiple states.
Baldwin's phone was searched by the Santa Fe Sheriff's Department and they intend to look for evidence related to the October shooting.

In October, a gun Baldwin was holding discharged during a rehearsal, killing Halyna Hutchins and injuring the director. The investigation could take months, and no charges have been filed. Baldwin said in a December interview that he probably won't be charged in the shooting, but that he did not pull the gun. The assistant director Dave Halls told Baldwin the gun was cold and that it was safe to use. Halls and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed denied knowing the gun was loaded with live bullets. The weapons supplier for the movie, PDQ Media Arms and Prop, and its owner, were sued Wednesday by a woman who claimed they supplied the set with both dummy and live rounds which were not supposed to be on set.
Alec Baldwin says he won't be charged in the shooting.
A search warrant has been issued for Alec Baldwin's phone.
The search warrant suggests that the live gun on the set may have come from a weapons supplier.
The claims company provided live rounds in fatal shooting.
