How to find out if you have a warrant in Michigan
Warrants are issued by courts and served by sheriffs — so the surest way to confirm one is to ask the source directly. Work down this list.
-
Review the official resources on this page
Choose a resource whose court or agency coverage fits the case. Check its access requirements, exclusions, and update limits before interpreting a result.
-
Confirm with the issuing court clerk
Use the official court directory to identify the court where the case or citation was filed. Ask that court about the current warrant status and its procedures.
Open official site -
Contact the relevant sheriff or agency records division
Use the named agency’s official contact information for records within its jurisdiction. An agency search or list does not cover every court or other agency.
Types of warrants in Michigan
Not every warrant means the same thing. These are the common types.
- Bench warrant
- court order to take a person into custody in connection with a case; confirm the reason and instructions with the issuing court
- Arrest warrant
- issued on a complaint supported by probable cause to take a named person into custody
- Search warrant
- authorizes a search of a place or property; a police tool, not a public lookup
What happens if a warrant is ignored
Consequences depend on the case and jurisdiction.
This guide cannot establish whether a warrant is active or predict what will happen.
Confirm current status and requirements with the issuing court; an empty online result does not resolve a court matter.
What you can do
Procedural steps only — no outcome is predicted.
Use the official court directory to find the clerk for the court handling the matter.
Ask how to confirm current warrant status, identify the case and any appearance date, and obtain the court’s instructions for addressing it.
Procedures, bond conditions, and eligibility vary; this guide does not promise a particular outcome.
Your rights. You have the right to talk to a lawyer about your situation, and if you cannot afford one, you can ask the court about a public defender.
