Determining if someone has an outstanding arrest warrant is a simple process with easy access to online public record websites. First, you will need to gather some information such as the full name and age, or birthdate, of the person in question to begin your search. The next step is to find a reliable public record resource to lookup active warrant records. The legacy means of running an arrest warrant search would be to contact the relevant law enforcement agency or clerk of the courts however, they will not always have warrant information for people located in other counties or jurisdictions, plus many people are intimidated by asking if they have an outstanding warrant for themselves for fear of being arrested on the spot. The most popular way to run a warrant search on someone is to use an online public record website, since warrant records are public information, anyone can run an arrest warrant search online. It’s also important to note that not all online public record websites are the same and results may vary, it’s always a good idea to double check other fields of data to make sure you’ve found the right public record for the correct person. As of January 2023, there are 780,000 outstanding warrants according to the National Crime Information Center but the real number might be a lot higher as infractions or bench warrants are not as easily counted. With so many outstanding warrants in the United States, it’s important to make sure your cross-reference as much information as possible to insure you’ve found the right warrant record. There are many people in the US that have the same first and last name so their date of birth is a good way to know that you’ve found the right record for your free warrant search.
If an outstanding warrant has been issued for your arrest, it is best to know about it before being arrested in an awkward situation. It is also important to know that there are certain situations that can be resolved regarding a warrant that can prevent you from being arrested or having to spend any time in jail. Many of the government run resources also offer a free warrant search. You may want to use multiple resources to verify the accuracy of the information you find. That said, there are a few ways to check if you have an arrest warrant.
There are many reasons a person might want to run a warrant search for yourself or a search for someone else. Here are some of the most common reasons people want to know if they or someone else has a warrant for their arrest.
Resolving an outstanding warrant is important, because even a simple ticket for a traffic matter can turn into jail time. Knowledge of a warrant can help you prepare and reach out to a defense attorney. An arrest warrant is a surprise that no one wants. This can be an avoidable disruption if you know where to look plus, sometimes there are inaccuracies in public record reporting so it’s best practice to verify your own criminal record from time to time. A traffic citation is a criminal violation that can lead to a warrant if left unattended. To begin your resolution, you can either contact the clerk of the courts where the warrant was issued or seek legal counsel to assist you in petitioning your case or a gentile surrender that can look favorably upon your sentencing. If the circumstance of the arrest warrant is serious then it’s considered best practice to hire an attorney to help understand the legal circumstances and protect your constitutional rights.
An arrest warrant is a legal document issued by a judge which authorizes law enforcement to arrest a person who is suspected of committing a crime or failure to report to court. When an arrest warrant is issued, the person named in the warrant has certain rights, including:
Extradition law is notoriously complex, especially when it involves fugitives who are in the United States and may have an outstanding warrant for their arrest issued by another U.S. state or another country. Whether or not you can be extradited to another jurisdiction for an arrest warrant depends on a number of factors, including where the alleged offense took place, whether it is an intrastate or international extradition request, what type of offense was committed, and whether an extradition treaty exists between the United States and the country issuing the arrest warrant. Because of the extreme complexity of extradition law, if you are subject to an international or out-of-state arrest warrant then you should talk to an attorney for help. It’s also important to know if you have an active warrant before traveling as you may be subject to arrest at the airport or apprehended on arrival at your destination. A quick search online with any of the mentioned resources above is a good way to find out this information before heading out of town on a business trip or vacation.
Extradition in the United States can be divided into two broad categories: interstate and international. Interstate extradition concerns arrest warrants issued by one U.S. state for an individual who is currently in a different U.S. state. Extradition between U.S. states is covered by the Extradition Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Extradition Clause provides that a person charged with “treason, a felony, or other crime” in one state and then flees to another state will be arrested and returned to the state where the offense was committed upon request of the executive authority of that state. Extraditing a person from one state to another is usually (though not always) pretty straightforward.
You can still fly within the United States with certain types of warrants, such as some misdemeanor warrants however, you will want to verify before going through security at the airport. If you have an arrest warrant and you try to fly you may be arrested on the spot. If you are trying to fly internationally this may not hold true depending on the circumstance and type of warrant that you have outstanding. It’s good practice to observe the information outlined by the TSA Civil Enforcement rules. If you’re uncertain if you have a warrant you can run a quick search online from a multitude of online public record websites.

We show a failure to appear charge which has resulted in a Kentucky bench warrant for a Courtney Canada.
What Is A Failure To Appear Charge?
A failure to appear charge means you missed a court appearance and are subject to additional fines/fees and potentially a bench or arrest warrant. If a court appearance can not be made, it’s best practice to reschedule with the clerk of the court as soon as possible.

Jennifer, we show an order for arrest for a Jennifer Nicole Read in Texas but nothing comes up in our Pennsylvania criminal records database.
What is an Order for Arrest?
An Order for Arrest is a court ordered arrest warrant that is generally issued to all law enforcement agencies within a state. This can be for various factors such as parole or probation violations, missed court dates or other delinquent criminal procedures.
Difference Between Open and Active Warrants
The difference between active and open warrants is an active warrant has a higher priority and degree of concern to law enforcement. Active warrants are typically attached to serious crimes such as felonies or serious misdemeanors. An open warrant does not have the same degree of priority to law enforcement. These can be from an unpaid speeding ticket or unpaid court fees. These open warrants can also be bench warrants for unpaid court fines or fees.
