California Warrant Search Information
Warrants are signed by judges, and they give police the authority to search your home or arrest you when they see you. Bench warrants are the most common and are issued if a person fails to show up for a court date. There are also arrest warrants and fugitive warrant records you can lookup. Warrant information will vary from state to state.
In the USA, they are given out by the county sheriff and must be signed by a detached magistrate. Finding out whether you have a warrant is an important precautionary measure for people living in the state or those who would like to visit. If you discover you have one, do not talk to the police. Instead, you should call your lawyer and plan your surrender to the authorities.
How to Find Out if You Have a Warrant in California
- Contact the Relevant Law Enforcement Offices
- Request a California Warrant Search By Name Online, In Person or By Phone
- Provide the Full Name, DOB and Any Identifiable Information of The Person in Question

A simple way to find out if you have a warrant is to contact the courthouse in the county where it may have been issued. To do this, you will have to call the clerk. You can also visit the courthouse physically, although this might result in your arrest. If your case is a national issue, you should contact the federal clerk of court in your district.
Alternatively, you can call the Sherriff’s department and ask them if you have a warrant. If you are not comfortable doing the search yourself, you can ask your lawyer to do it on your behalf.
California Warrant Search Online Via 3rd Party Databases
Although you have a right to know about your warrant, it may not be in your best interest to ask about it yourself. You should consider if you want to talk to the authorities if you actually have a warrant. A good way to avoid this is by using a third party website. Such services will search for the warrant on your behalf and let you know if you have one. This is usually done for a nominal fee.
The websites will require your full names, city, state, and age. The depth of information about the warrant usually depends on how much you pay. Third party websites are not affiliated with the government or any California law enforcement authorities.

What to do if you have a California Warrant
For minor cases such as public intoxication, the state does not usually invest in your search. Most probably, you will only get arrested when you come back to California. The warrant will give the police a right to arrest you if they see you anywhere, which also means they have to be able to recognize you.
That said, the correct way of handling your warrant is to call your lawyer and explain the situation. You shouldn’t talk to the authorities since this could land you in more trouble. As per the Fifth Amendment, you have the right to stay silent in the event of an arrest.
It is also important to stay calm. Resisting arrest can make the police violent. In the case of a search warrant, you should state that you do not consent to the search as this will limit them to the places where it authorizes.
California warrants are issued for many reasons. If you have any reason to believe you have one, it is important to find out conclusively. The methods outlined here will allow you to establish for a fact whether or not you have a warrant.

Michelle, we ran a California warrant check for you and did not find anything active in our database resources
I believe all of my fines are paid in full, however I think I was supposed to attend some classes, also, which I did not. I reunited with my high school sweetheart, then packed up and moved, 5hrs away. Moving and starting over felt much like the closing of a bad chapter in my book; one I couldn\’t bring myself to reopen. Hard to imagine that was 5yrs ago, effective this June, 2020. While I haven\’t had any interaction with the law in this time, I also haven\’t tied up those loose ends, either. I know you cannot say definitively, but in your opinion, what do you think the chances are I have a warrant, as result? I just wanted to get some feedback from you, in effort to prepare myself prior to making that call! I have to call the County Courthouse Clerk or the Sheriff\’s Office, as per your web info. Here\’s some further, for lack of a better word, \”interesting\” info. Ready? Here comes the kicker! My ex worked @Sheriff\’s Office-Dispatch (911)…as did I for awhile- -in the same office, but I did restraining order data entry. We were not together when he was charged with and ultimately fired for child molestation: My then, age 17, son- -his step-son- -and my son\’s longtime friend. EVERYBODY, myself included, was completely shocked! Whether I have to call the Sheriff\’s Office or the Courthouse (re:warrant) they knew/know him; chances are: me,too. If not,they definitely know the name! Ugh! To make matters worse, if you can even believe there is such: we\’re still legally married! For shame, I know! 1st things first: Learn about warrant. Fast 2nd: Filing for divorce! I\’m unsure where he even lives now: Illinois…Arizona. I just need to handle matters–both of them– so I can go forward with my life. Thanks in advance for anything you\’re able to share and/or help me with.☺

Maricela, we are happy to run a California warrant search for you. We’ll need your full name and age as well as the county where you suspect you have an active CA warrant.
A search warrant was executed on my home. I asked for a copy 3 times during the search and they kept telling me later. After search was over, they put a copy of pages 1-6 of the warrant on my counter and left before i was allowed to access the counter. The warrant had 22 pages according to page numbers. How do i get copies of pages 7-22? This is sacramento county. there is no warrant number on the pages.
Rochelle, you can contact the issuing Sacramento county courthouse as they would have signed off on a search warrant. It also seems very suspicious that your rights we’re not properly observed by the law enforcement agency that searched your home. It might be prudent to contact a lawyer to discuss the details of this suspicious search warrant. In any case, you have the right to get a full copy of the search warrant that was issued to search your home and property.
