How To Get Information on a Court Warrant Against You

A court warrant is issued by a local court to allow law enforcement officers to arrest you or prompt you to appear in court. Sometimes you may have an outstanding or active court warrant against you without knowing about it. If you suspect that a warrant may have been issued due to a past offense you committed, it is possible to ascertain if you have a warrant against you. There are various ways to find information on a possible warrant against you.

      Subscribe to an online public records database such as United States Courts (uscourts.gov/CourtRecords) or GovWarrantRecords.org. Enter information such as your name, city and state, and then submit the information. Using an online public records database allows you to conduct a nationwide search to find out if you have court warrants in other states you may have visited.

      Confirm if a warrant was filed by consulting the website of your local or the location in question's court house. Perform a search in their public records database. Alternatively, visit or call the court house and request the court clerk to check if a court warrant has been filed against you. Provide him with your personal information such as name, county, telephone and social security numbers to enable him to carry out the search.

      Ask a law enforcement agency to confirm if you have any active warrants against you. Consider this as a last resort option in your search, because you risk prompt arrest if there is a warrant against you.
