What a warrant is

A warrant is a written authorization from a judge or magistrate. An arrest warrant allows law enforcement to take a person into custody. A bench warrant is issued by a court, often after a missed court date or an unresolved fine. A search warrant authorizes a search of a place rather than an arrest, and is generally not public until it has been carried out.

What warrant information may show

Warrant information changes quickly. A warrant can be served or recalled at any time and public lists are updated on different schedules, so a report is a starting point rather than a status check.

If you think a warrant may exist

Only the issuing court or law enforcement agency can confirm whether a warrant is active. If the warrant may be in your own name, speaking with an attorney before contacting the court is a common first step. Many courts can also say by phone or online whether a case has an outstanding bench warrant.

Questions

Before you search

Can a warrant search tell me if a warrant is active right now?: No. Warrant data can be out of date by the time it is published. Confirm the current status with the issuing court or agency.
What is a bench warrant?: A bench warrant is issued by a judge, usually when someone misses a required court appearance or does not comply with the court’s instructions.
Are all warrants public?: No. Many jurisdictions do not publish warrants online, and sealed warrants are not public. A search without a match does not mean no warrant exists.
Can I search my own name?: Yes. Checking your own name is one of the most common reasons for a warrant search.
