How to
How to find out if you have a warrant, state by state
Short answer
Only Florida and Delaware run a full statewide online list of active warrants; Connecticut and Alaska list some kinds. Most others offer a court case search, which is not a warrant list, and 12 states have no statewide search at all. Bench warrants generally do not expire. The issuing court's clerk has the current status.

Is there a statewide warrant search in your state?

Key points
- Statewide lists
- Only 4 states post a statewide list of active warrants: Florida (FDLE), Delaware (DELJIS), Connecticut (probation and failure-to-appear warrants) and Alaska (State Trooper cases). 34 states and DC have a court case search instead, and 12 states have none.
- Not a warrant list
- A case search shows cases, not warrants. Washington's courts say their search does NOT provide active warrant information: call the court where the case was filed.
- No expiry
- Bench warrants generally do not expire. In D.C. and in King County, Washington, the courts say they stay outstanding until police serve them or a judge cancels (quashes) them.
- Scam check
- Real law enforcement will never text or email you an arrest warrant, and courts never demand payment over the phone.
A warrant is a court order, and the court that issued it is the only sure place to find out about it. An arrest warrant lets police arrest you; a bench warrant is issued when you miss court or don't do what the court ordered; a search warrant lets police search a place. There is no national warrant database open to the public. A few states post active warrants online, many offer a court case search, and the rest leave it to each county's court clerk and sheriff.

Arrest, bench, search and civil warrants: which one could you have?
A warrant is an order signed by a judge. Searching for "warrants" mixes up several different orders, so first work out which one you mean.
- Arrest warrant. An order that allows a police officer to arrest someone. A judge may issue one if there is a good reason to believe you committed a crime, which is called probable cause. The Constitution says no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation.Mass.gov warrant FAQ · U.S. Const. amend. IV
- Bench warrant. A warrant a judge issues when you do not appear in court or do not do what the court ordered. Milwaukee's municipal court, for example, issues a bench warrant when you were found guilty by default for not coming to court and the case becomes overdue. A judge may also issue an arrest warrant if you do not show up to court.Milwaukee Municipal Court · Mass.gov warrant FAQ
- Search warrant. An order letting police search a particular place for particular things. The Fourth Amendment requires it to describe the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. A search warrant is about a place, not an order to arrest you.U.S. Const. amend. IV
- Civil warrants: capias and attachment. Warrants are not only for crimes. Arizona's courts tell callers to ask about outstanding warrants in a criminal or civil case, and Massachusetts lists not paying court fees or fines and violating a court order, such as a restraining order, among the reasons for a warrant. Delaware calls a court's order to bring someone in a capias; New Orleans' traffic and municipal court speaks of a warrant or attachment.Arizona Judicial Branch · Mass.gov warrant FAQ · Delaware State Police · New Orleans Municipal and Traffic Court
How to find out if you have a warrant
Use the tool at the top for your state's official search. Then check the way the courts themselves tell you to:
- Search your state's official list or case search. Florida, Delaware, Connecticut and Alaska post active warrants online. 34 states and DC have a court case search, where a warrant may appear only as an entry in an open case, if at all. Use only the government sites linked in the table: look-alike record sites are not the courts.
- Read a blank result carefully. Florida's FDLE says it cannot represent that its list is current, active or complete; Delaware's says recent changes may not be reflected; Alaska's troopers say their list should not be used as confirmation that a warrant is still active.
- Call the clerk of the court where you had a case. Washington's courts put it plainly: their statewide search does NOT provide active warrant information, because of the delay between when a warrant is issued and when it is uploaded, so contact the court where the case was filed; it has the most current warrant status. Have your name, date of birth and case number ready.
- Check with the sheriff. In Georgia, each sheriff's office has the warrants for its own county only, and you ask that office directly; payment is not required.
- Or have a lawyer check for you. A lawyer or the public defender's office can make the call and, if there is a warrant, ask the court to deal with it: see Getting a lawyer to check.
Quick guide
Why might there be a warrant?
1. What is most likely behind it?
It points to the part of this page that fits, in the page's own words. Nothing you choose is saved or sent. Not legal advice.
Will you be notified? Can you have a warrant without knowing?
Yes, you can have a warrant and not know it. The Delaware State Police say so directly: "We understand that you may not be aware of your wanted status," and they encourage people to check the state's online list. Some courts send notices; Milwaukee's municipal court, for example, tells people who "received a notice of a warrant" to call. Do not wait for one. Delaware State Police · Milwaukee Municipal Court
- A missed court date is the usual trigger. If you miss a court date, Massachusetts advises going to court as soon as possible to avoid being arrested.Mass.gov warrant FAQ
- Lists lag behind. Washington's courts explain that a warrant reaches the statewide search only after a delay, which is why they ask you to call the court instead.Washington Courts eService Center
- A call or text is not how you are told. Real law enforcement will never text or email you an arrest warrant, and won't call to say they will arrest you unless you pay. See scam calls.FTC consumer alert
Do warrants expire?
Generally no. D.C. Courts: "According to law, bench warrants do not expire and are outstanding until either executed or quashed (cancelled) by the judge." A warrant is executed when police pick you up and bring you before the court; it is quashed when a judge issues an order. King County District Court in Washington says the same: your warrant will remain outstanding until it is quashed by a judge. D.C. Courts · King County District Court
How to clear a warrant
You clear a warrant through the court that issued it, and each court has its own routine. These are the routes official court pages describe:
- Go to the clerk's office of the court that issued it. In Massachusetts you go to the courthouse that issued the warrant, tell the clerk's office you are there to clear a warrant, and the clerk sends the paperwork to the courtroom for a judge. You may wait for your case to be called. Mass.gov warrant FAQ
- Ask for a recall or quash hearing. King County District Court lets you, or your lawyer, ask for a bench warrant quash hearing at the courthouse where your case was filed; in some limited cases the clerk's office can quash it. Until then the warrant stays active. King County District Court
- Pay, if the warrant is about an unpaid fine. Milwaukee's municipal court lifts a regular warrant when you pay in full or appear to enter a plea; a bench or arrest warrant can be lifted with a payment of at least $20, or $50 in building and zoning cases, and only a judge lifts it. Milwaukee Municipal Court
- Post bail. In the Las Vegas area you may be required to post bail to satisfy the warrant. In Alaska, after you turn yourself in, you may be able to meet the warrant's requirements, such as posting bail, and if you can't, you see a judge. Clark County District Attorney · Alaska State Troopers
- Turn yourself in, with a plan. Delaware's State Police encourage people who are wanted to contact the agency that issued the warrant and turn themselves in as soon as possible. Alaska's troopers ask you to bring photo identification. A lawyer can ask the court for a quash hearing for you instead. Delaware State Police · Alaska State Troopers · King County District Court
The letters below ask a clerk whether there is a warrant, or ask the court to recall a bench warrant and set a new date. They follow up after 10 days or 14 days, and the follow-up date goes to your calendar. Many courts require their own form, a written motion or a walk-in hearing instead of a letter: ask the clerk first, and see your state court's self-help pages, such as Arizona's or King County's.

Checklist
Before you go to court
Tick what you have; each item points to the part of this page that explains it.
Every point comes from this page and its official sources. Your ticks are not saved or sent anywhere. Not legal advice.
Getting a lawyer or public defender to check for you
You do not have to make the first call yourself. King County District Court: "Your attorney can request a warrant quash hearing for you," and you have the right to a lawyer at that hearing; if you cannot afford one, you can screen for a public defender beforehand. In Massachusetts, the judge will appoint a public defender if a lawyer is necessary, and you can ask your own lawyer to go with you to clear the warrant. King County District Court · Mass.gov warrant FAQ
To find out whether you qualify for a court-appointed lawyer, and how to ask for one, see Public defenders. For legal aid and bar referral services, see Find legal help. If the warrant is for a new charge, read Police questioning before you talk to officers, and Arraignment for what happens at the first hearing.
Traffic tickets, missed court dates and your license
A ticket can lead to a warrant, a license suspension or both if you miss a deadline or a court date. What happens depends on the court and on whether the ticket is a civil infraction or a criminal charge:
- Washington: answer within 30 days. Thurston County District Court: you must respond within thirty (30) days of the date the infraction was issued. An infraction is not a crime, but failure to respond can increase what you owe and suspend your driver's license. If you asked for a hearing and do not appear, the court finds the infraction committed and orders the penalty due immediately, and a $52 late penalty is added.Thurston County District Court
- New Orleans: a warrant or attachment, and the license. If you don't act or appear by the date on a citation or summons, a warrant or attachment may be issued for your arrest, and the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles may suspend your driver's license. If you missed the date, appear at the Municipal and Traffic Court as soon as possible.New Orleans Municipal and Traffic Court
- Milwaukee: warrants for unpaid judgments. When a case becomes overdue and carries jail time for failure to pay, the judge issues an arrest warrant to have you come in and discuss your ability to pay.Milwaukee Municipal Court
State rules on late fees, failure-to-appear charges and license suspensions for California, Texas, Florida and New York are on Speeding tickets. If the warrant comes from an old case you have since finished, see whether the record can be cleared: Expungement.
Federal warrants
There is no public federal warrant search. The U.S. Marshals Service, which executes federal arrest warrants, tracks them in its Warrant Information System, and access is restricted to those with a need to know to perform their official duties. U.S. Marshals Service
- Search federal cases on PACER. PACER charges $0.10 a page, no more than $3 a document, and you pay nothing if you spend $30 or less in a quarter. A search by a common name can produce many pages; searching by case number avoids the charge. From January 1, 2027, the page fee rises to 12 cents and the free allowance to $40 a quarter.PACER, How fees work · PACER announcement
- Ask a lawyer to check. A lawyer, or a federal public defender if you qualify, can check with the federal court for you. See Public defenders for who qualifies under the Criminal Justice Act.Public defenders: the Criminal Justice Act
Calls, texts and emails saying you have a warrant
A caller says you missed jury duty or are under investigation, that there is a warrant for your arrest, and that you can avoid jail by paying now: it is a scam. The FTC: "Real law enforcement will never text or email you an arrest warrant," and "Courts never demand payment over the phone. In fact, no government agency will." FTC consumer alert
- Callers sound real. The U.S. Marshals Service and the FBI warn that scammers give badge numbers, names of real officials and federal judges and courthouse addresses, and spoof caller ID to look like the court or a government agency.U.S. Marshals Service
- They ask for unusual payments. Scammers ask for cash transfers, prepaid debit or gift cards read over the phone, or bitcoin ATM deposits. The U.S. Marshals Service will never ask for credit, debit or gift card numbers, wire transfers or bank routing numbers, or ask you to make bitcoin deposits, for any purpose.U.S. Marshals Service
- Missed jury duty is decided in court, not on the phone. A federal court and the U.S. Marshals: neither will ever call to ask for payment of fines for failing to appear for jury duty. A juror may be held in contempt for not appearing, but only by a judge in open court, with a chance to explain.U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire
- Courts warn about fake texts too. California's courts say the court won't text, call or email to ask for money; New Orleans' traffic court says it will never ask for a payment by text message. Check a ticket only through the court's own website or phone number.California Courts · New Orleans Municipal and Traffic Court
Worked examples
1. A missed hearing on a Washington traffic ticket. A driver gets a speeding ticket in Thurston County, asks for a hearing, then misses it. Thurston County District Court · Washington Courts
- Respond to the ticket
- Within 30 daysFrom the date the infraction was issued: pay, or ask for a hearing.
- Missed the hearing
- Found committedThe court finds the infraction committed and orders the penalty listed on it due immediately.
- Late penalty
- $52Added when no response is made, payment is late, or a hearing is missed.
- License
- May be suspendedFailure to respond can suspend the driver's license. Call the court that handles the ticket first.
- If it is a criminal case instead
- Call the courtWashington's statewide search does not show warrants. In King County District Court, a bench warrant stays outstanding until a judge quashes it.
2. A Florida search that shows nothing. Someone who missed a county court date searches FDLE's Wanted Persons list and gets no match. FDLE
- FDLE search
- No matchThe list holds warrant information that agencies report to FDLE and authorize for release to the public.
- What it proves
- Not enoughFDLE cannot represent that the list is current, active or complete, and says to verify with local law enforcement or the reporting agency.
- Next step
- Call the countyAsk the clerk of court in the county where the case was, and the sheriff, whether a warrant was issued; or have a lawyer ask.
3. Clearing a warrant at a Massachusetts courthouse. A parent learns of a warrant from a missed court date. Mass.gov warrant FAQ

Common questions
How do I find out if I have a local warrant?
Call the clerk of the court where you had a case, or the sheriff of that county; in Georgia, each sheriff's office has its own county's warrants. Online, use your state's official search in the table. A case search is not a warrant list, so a phone call to the court is the surest check.
How do I check if I am wanted?
Florida (FDLE), Delaware (DELJIS), Connecticut and Alaska post active warrants online. Elsewhere, check the state's court case search and call the clerk or sheriff. A blank result is not proof: Florida's FDLE says its list may not be current, active or complete.
Is it possible to have a warrant without knowing?
Yes. Delaware's State Police tell residents, "We understand that you may not be aware of your wanted status." A judge may issue a warrant when you miss court, and online lists lag behind the court's records.
Will I be notified if a warrant is issued?
Don't count on it. Some courts send a notice, but you may never get one, and online lists lag behind the court's records. Real law enforcement will never text or email you an arrest warrant, or call to demand payment.
Do warrants expire?
Generally no. D.C. Courts: bench warrants do not expire and are outstanding until executed or quashed by the judge. King County District Court says the same: a warrant remains outstanding until a judge quashes it.
What is a bench warrant?
An order a judge issues when someone does not appear in court or does not do what the court ordered, such as paying a fine. It lets police bring you before the court. You clear it through the court that issued it, often by appearing and asking a judge to recall or quash it.
Can a lawyer check for me?
Yes. A lawyer or the public defender's office can call the court, and in King County District Court "your attorney can request a warrant quash hearing for you." See Public defenders.
Is a call saying I have a warrant a scam?
Treat it as a scam if the caller wants money. Courts never demand payment over the phone, and the U.S. Marshals Service will never ask for card numbers, wire transfers or bitcoin deposits. Hang up and report it to the FTC.
Can I search for a warrant for free in Florida?
Yes. FDLE's Wanted Persons search is on its Public Access System. It covers warrants that agencies report and release to the public, so confirm any result, or a blank one, with the county clerk or sheriff.
Is a search warrant the same as an arrest warrant?
No. A search warrant lets police search a particular place for particular things; an arrest warrant or bench warrant is about you. A warrant search for your name looks for arrest and bench warrants.
