Best Way to Check for Arizona Warrants<\/h2>\n

The easiest option is to search the state\u2019s public court information database<\/a> online.<\/p>\n

You can perform a simple search with just your last name, though it helps to include your first name, date of birth, and the issuing court.<\/p>\n

You can also perform a search based on the case number and issuing court, if you have access to that information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The other three options to search for warrants in Arizona involve picking up the phone.<\/p>\n

Alternative Ways<\/h2>\n

First, try calling the Criminal Court Administration Information Desk at 602 \u2013 506 \u2013 8575.<\/p>\n

If they can\u2019t help you, call the Arizona Department of Public Safety at 602 \u2013 223 \u2013 2233.<\/p>\n

The fourth and final option is to speak with local law enforcement, either with the Sherriff\u2019s office or local police.<\/p>\n

This may be necessary if your warrant is issued in a county or city that doesn\u2019t publish court information to the state\u2019s public court information database.<\/p>\n

You can also do this in person, though it\u2019s usually best to speak with local law enforcement by phone if you want to avoid being arrested on the spot.<\/p>\n

There are some private companies and websites that offer warrant searches, but these are an unnecessary expense when you can get the information on your own for free.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re having any trouble tracking down warrant information, it\u2019s better to speak with an attorney who can check the court records and give you detailed information.<\/p>\n

Are Any Cases Excluded From an Online Public Records Search?<\/h2>\n

You shouldn\u2019t have any issues finding information on warrants using the online public records database, but there are several types of cases that will be excluded from search results.<\/p>\n

These include probate cases, mental health cases, sealed cases, witness data, victim data, and any cases with Orders of Protection that have yet to be served.<\/p>\n

Some juvenile cases may be displayed online (such as traffic cases), but juvenile delinquency\/incorrigible case information is unavailable online.<\/p>\n

Finally, any charges stemming from local ordinance violations are not included online.<\/p>\n

Courts With a Separate Record Search Web Portal<\/h2>\n

There are a number of courts that maintain their own web portal for public records. These include:<\/p>\n
