All California warrants are signed by judges, and they can give police the authority to arrest you on the spot with an arrest warrant. Bench warrants are a bid different in that most of these do not result an an arrest. These most common types of warrants in California and are issued if a person fails to show up for a court date, doesn’t comply with a court order, or fails to pay their court fines. There are both searchable types of warrant records that anyone can perform with a simple name search online. There is also a ‘search warrant’ however this is not a warrant that is public record. A search warrant is a court ordered document that gives law enforcement the authority to search a specific location such s a house, place of business, vehicle, etc..
California Sheriff Department Warrant Search
- 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
- View California Active Warrants & Verify The Personal Information is Correct
A simple way to find out if you have a warrant is to contact the relevant county sheriff department or courthouse in the county where it may have been issued. You can sometimes do this through their web portal but occasionally you will have to call the clerk directly to inquire. You can also visit the courthouse physically, although this might result in your arrest if you have a California arrest warrant in your name. 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 County Courthouse Warrant Search
In California, outstanding warrant can be found the online through the relevant county courthouse websites.. Warrants are public records so anyone can search them. The only caveat to looking up a warrant this way is you will have to know which county courthouse to search with since often times their websites will only search within their own county. You can also call up the clerk of the court to inquire about any warrants you might have. A third option is to go to the courthouse in person however if you try to run a California arrest warrant search you might be arrested on the spot. Bench warrants are usually not offense which will result in your arrest. They are often times from a missed court appearance that you can reschedule online or in person.
What To Do If You Have a California Arrest Warrant
If you get arrested for an outstanding California warrant, the first thing you should do is to call your lawyer and explain the situation. You might consider not talking 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 if you are approached by the police with a California arrest warrant. Resisting arrest can make the police take action and can make your arrest more difficult and you can also face additional charges. It is also important to note that some California arrest warrants can result in being extradited from another state back to California if you are arrested in another state. A good course of action to help mitigate being arrested for an outstanding warrant is to run periodic background checks on yourself to see what information is current, especially if you’ve recently had a run in with the police or were previously arrested and you are out on probation or parole.
Conclusion
California warrants can be intimidating, however finding out if you have one doesn’t have to be. With online public record websites, anyone can run a California arrest warrant search or California bench warrant search anonymously. If you find you have a warrant in your name, you might want to consult with legal counsel to find out what your rights are and what is the best course of action to surrender yourself or possibly just reschedule a court appearance. It is also important to remember that a warrant is not a conviction. It is the beginning of a legal process, and with the right help, it can be handled effectively and sometimes mitigated with proper guidance.

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.☺

Worrant
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.
California Search Warrant Requirements
1. If property was stolen
2. If property is needed as evidence for a criminal investigation
3. If there is known contraband that is relevant
4. If there is also an arrest warrant for a person
5. If there is a firearm from a crime on the premises
6. If a person is under a restraining order
7. If a known felon has possession of a firearm
Thank you for the information. I went to courthouse and got a copy of the RETURN. All pages except 22,23, and 24 were included. These pages are confidential under a “Hobbs” order. They contain the reason for why the warrant was issued as the sealed pages are sealed because “if revealed, the confidential informants life would be in danger and/or it would reveal investigative techniques not known to the general public”. How is the informant life in danger? I’ve never been arrested in my life! Can they really not tell you why they are searching your house like that? Dont I have the right to face my accuser? Deputy Probation Officer Marcel Bonardd wrote the request for search warrant affidavit in Sacramento, CA for SSD Report# 19-447476. How do I get these missing pages?
Rochelle, you may want to consult with legal counsel about your rights in this matter. We cannot weigh in on those questions unfortunately

Gina, that really depends on the nature of your California warrant and what the judge says. You should contact the relevant California courthouse clerk and inquire about more details or if you can avoid doing any jail time for your California warrant.
