How To Perform a Warrant Search in the State of Kentucky

A Kentucky warrant search is a simple online process since all warrants are public record in the state. The process is simple but you will need to gather some important information first. To begin your search you will need the full name of the person in question, including their middle name, and it will be helpful to know their age and county of residence if possible. The more information you have, the more accurate your results will be. To start, you simply enter the full name into the warrant search form. Then you will get a list of results, make sure to pick the correct record for the correct person as many people in the state have the same name, this is why you might need the middle name or county of residence to sort the results. Then you can access that person’s warrant records as well as their criminal history, previous arrests, court records and jail and prison records. You can access a wealth of information from online public record resources, and you can perform this search from the convenience of your smartphone, anywhere you get internet access.

How to Search the Different Kentucky Warrant Types

  • A Kentucky bench warrant search can be performed a couple of different ways. If you suspect you might have a bench warrant from a missed court appearance, missed jury duty, or overdue court fees, you can contact the clerk of the court where this has occurred. You can also sometimes run this search online if they have a bench warrant search feature accessible to the public. Another option is to use a public record site to search Kentucky bench warrants anonymously, which is sometimes a better option as you can do this confidentially. 
  • A Kentucky arrest warrant search can be performed through a county sheriff department website, if you know what county to search. You can also try searching through the Kentucky state police however, they do not have an accessible database for the general public. You will need to call them up to run a search for you. A third option is to use a public record website to run a statewide search on someone. This is a very simple solution and you can search anonymously with online resources like this. 

Criminal Record Search

Kentucky Warrants are Criminal Records

A warrant in Kentucky is not the same as a criminal conviction however, it still goes on a person’s public criminal record. This is because an offense has been made and the person listed on the warrant is summoned to appear in court, or to be arrested and brought to court. That person is sill innocent until proven guilty but they warrant is on that persons record until they have their day in court or rescheduled a court appearance, in the case of a bench warrant. A warrant can be removed from a person’s criminal record if it is cleared by a judge or the warrant was already executed. They do not go away on their own and additional charges might be added to the warrant if it is ignored. Warrants are important tools in the criminal justice system in Kentucky and they should be taken seriously as they can affect a person’s ability for employment, traveling, academic pursuits and even their relationships with other people. This is because they are searchable public records that anyone can view with a simple background check. 

The Kentucky E-Warrant System and Who Can Access It

The Kentucky eWarrant system is an electronic system that was built to help manage and store active Kentucky warrants and court summons, across the state. Before this system was created, searching for Kentucky warrants through various state agencies was messy and paper based which meant some information was lost or misplaced. This system also improves communication and alleviates the need for people making phone calls, and lots of paperwork, to be a part of the process. It has truly streamlined the warrant search process throughout Kentucky. This system is not available for the general public but it is available for the following agencies and entities. 

  • Law Enforcement Agencies: Kentucky police officers and certain authorized personnel from police departments, sheriff department, state police, and other law enforcement agencies can access the system. This access allows them to view and issue warrants as well as court summons. 
  • Court Officials: Judges, magistrates, and authorized courthouse clerks may have access to issue and view warrants and summonses. It is helpful to the courts to oversee the warrant process, especially since they originate from a judge or magistrate. 
  • Certain Government Agencies: Some government agencies that are involved in public safety and law enforcement might be granted access based on their needs and the state requirements for enforcing the law. 

Conclusion

The Kentucky criminal justice system depends on warrants to effectively enforce the law and ensure public safety. Being able to understand them, look them up and know how important they are is essential for anyone that has had a run-in with the law or missed an important court date. It’s equally important to know how to deal with a warrant if one has been issued in your name. This knowledge is powerful and can be helpful if you find yourself in a situation or legal battle where your good name is at stake. Some warrants can be easily mitigated where others will need the guidance of a legal professional.

    Kirsten Dawn Dean DOB 9/13/90
    Brittani Nicole McIntire DOB 7/5/92

    The latter 2 were often in trouble. Also if they do have warrants, how do I let the courts know that they have passed away. I’d rather have them cleared up than clogging courts.

    Thank you kindly in advance.

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      We did find some information about old Kentucky warrants for the people you mentioned. See the corresponding warrant and criminal offense below.

  16. Darren Chapmansays:

    I had a failure to provide insurance in Boone Co KY about 15 years ago in around 2006 or so. I never went to court and about 5 years after I called the county or district clerk. I plan to pay a fine if I couldn’t find my proof of insurance that I know I had at the time. The lady said that payment was not an option and I would have to serve 11 days in jail. I did find proof of insurance and send it in but it appears that they didn’t get it or it wasn’t good for some reason. The case is still listed as active in the Boone County Kentucky records online. When I hit the button for payment option it said that no payment option was applicable for that case. I called and was told that the case was still active but for some reason they couldn’t find a warrant. They said that there should have been a warrant. But for some reason there wasn’t. They didn’t want to advise me on any course of action. Except to come to the clerk and talk to them. Which is the last thing I want to do but have considered that may be my only choice to get it off my record. If I choose to leave it on my record am I not going to go to jail since there’s no warrant? Where it said online there was no option for payment does that mean that I’ll have to go to jail like the lady had said years ago if a situation arises or I choose to take care of it? I’m just curious as to what could happen. I really would like to not have that lingering on my record or just show up when I least expect it. Even if that means possibly getting an attorney or seeing if the court can work with me. My name is Darren Chapman. Thank you.

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      Darren, if you’re worried about an KY arrest warrant you should first pay off all your fines and fees and contact the clerk of the courts to find out if there is anything else you need to satisfy so you don’t have to serve jail time in Kentucky. You can also try acquiring the assistance of legal counsel to find out what your rights are
