Question 1

Where do I look up warrants in Baldwin County?

Accepted Answer

There is no central warrants database in Alabama — each county sheriff and city police department keeps its own. For Baldwin County, here's the verified picture: **Baldwin County Sheriff's Warrant Office:** - 112 E. 3rd Street, Bay Minette, AL · 251-580-2519 - Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM - They process roughly 18,000 warrants a year through Civil Affairs Command **The catch:** the Warrant Office **does not release warrant information to the public** — not by phone, not in person. That's their stated privacy policy. **What you CAN do:** 1. **Online arrest search** at sheriff.baldwincountyal.gov — recent bookings often reveal active warrants that were served. Free, fast, no login. 2. **Court clerk for the issuing court** — if you know which case you're worried about, the clerk can tell you whether the warrant is still active. That's a per-case lookup, not a general search. 3. **Statewide fugitive search** at app.alea.gov/community/wfSearch.aspx — this is for Alabama fugitives generally, not all outstanding warrants. **City-level warrants (Baldwin County cities):** - Foley PD: 251-943-4431 - Gulf Shores PD: 220 Clubhouse Drive, Gulf Shores, AL 36542 · 251-968-9434 - Robertsdale PD: 251-947-2222 - Bay Minette PD: handled via the county sheriff **If the warrant is on you:** go to the Baldwin County Sheriff's Correction Center booking office in Bay Minette, or take a photo ID to any local police agency. Talk to a defense attorney first

Question 2

How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Foley?

Accepted Answer

Warrants in Alabama are handled at the county and city level, not the state level. For someone in Foley, here's the actual process — verified today against official sources: **The Baldwin County Sheriff's Warrant Office does not release warrant information to the public** by phone or in person — it's a privacy policy. They process about 18,000 warrants a year, but won't tell a third party what's on file. What they will do: if you believe you have a warrant on yourself, you can come to the Baldwin County Sheriff's Correction Center booking office in Bay Minette, or take a photo ID to any local law enforcement agency to clear it up. **Where it lives:** - Baldwin County Sheriff's Office Warrant Division — 112 E. 3rd Street, Bay Minette, AL · 251-580-2519 · open Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM - Foley Police Department — 200 East Section Avenue, Foley, AL 36535 · 251-943-4431 (for warrants issued by Foley PD specifically) **For a public-record style check:** look at the Baldwin County Sheriff's online arrest search — that lists recent bookings, which often correlate with served warrants. The court clerk for the issuing court can also confirm whether a warrant is still outstanding on a specific case. **One honest piece of advice:** if you think a warrant is for you, talk to a defense attorney in Baldwin County before walking into a sheriff's office. The cost of a 30-minute consult is far smaller than the cost of being booked

Question 3

What's the right way to do a background check on someone in Robertsdale?

Accepted Answer

There are three real paths in Alabama, depending on what you actually need. **Path 1 — Official state criminal history (ALEA / SBI):** - Cost: **$25.00** for the first copy, **$5.00** for each additional copy - Process: fingerprint-based. Submit the SBI Application to Review Alabama CHRI along with a photo ID and money order or cashier's check - Where: in person at 301 S. Ripley Street, Montgomery, AL 36104 (Adams Ave side) or by mail to PO Box 1511, Montgomery, AL 36102-1511 - Phone: 1-866-740-4762 or 334-676-7897 (Monday–Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM CST) - This is what you can legally see about *yourself*. Third-party checks for employment go through a different ALEA program. **Path 2 — Court-level criminal case search (Alabama Unified Judicial System):** - Free. Name-based search at alacourt.gov - Good for personal "did this person have any cases in Alabama?" lookups - Not certified, not FCRA-compliant, but useful **Path 3 — Robertsdale-specific local records:** - Robertsdale Police Department — 23335 E. Chicago Street, PO Box 429, Robertsdale, AL 36567 · 251-947-2222 - All public records requests in Robertsdale go through the City Clerk under Alabama's Open Records Act **For employment screening:** none of the above is FCRA-compliant on its own. You'd need to use a licensed Consumer Reporting Agency. If you're cleaning up *your own* record, expungement in Alabama is a separate court process — start with the circuit court in the county where the case originated

Question 4

How do I find a marriage record in Baldwin County?

Accepted Answer

Big update on this one — Alabama changed its marriage law in **August 2019**. Alabama no longer issues marriage licenses. Probate courts no longer issue them, and there is no application process. Instead, the parties complete a **Marriage Certificate form** (provided by the Alabama Department of Public Health), have it notarized, and file it with the Probate Office. **For Baldwin County specifically:** - Filing location: **Bay Minette Probate Office only** - Mailing address: Judge of Probate, Attn: Marriage Section, PO Box 459, Bay Minette, AL 36507 - Filing fee: **$73.00** (includes one certified copy) - Must be filed within 30 calendar days of the last notarized signature - Get the form at alabamapublichealth.gov/vitalrecords/marriage-certificates.html — blank forms are NOT available at the Probate Office **For an existing marriage record (certified copy):** - From Baldwin County Probate (if recorded there): **$3.00 per copy** — money order or cashier's check by mail; cash or credit card in person - From the state (Alabama Department of Public Health): **$15.00 first copy** (includes search), **$6.00 each additional**, plus optional **$15.00 expedite fee** - ADPH mailing address: Center for Health Statistics, PO Box 5625, Montgomery, AL 36103-5625 · 334-206-5418 - Online ordering through VitalChek (additional service fees apply) - In person: any Alabama county health department, usually issued while you wait **Quick lookup (no certified copy needed):** Baldwin County keeps a public marriage index at open.baldwincountyal.gov. **Important:** marriages from before August 1936 must be obtained from the probate office in the county where the license was issued — the state didn't centralize records before then

Question 5

How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Opelika?

Accepted Answer

Opelika is the Lee County seat. Warrants here come from one of two places: the Opelika Police Department (city-level) or the Lee County Sheriff (county-level and unincorporated). Verified live today. **Lee County Sheriff's Office** - Address: 1900 Frederick Rd, Opelika, AL 36801 - Mailing: PO Box 688, Opelika, AL 36803-0688 - Phone: 334-749-5651 (main), 334-737-7022 (alt) - Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM CST - Records request: leecosheriffal.gov/recordsrequest (downloadable form) **Opelika Police Department** - Address: 501 South 10th Street, Opelika, AL 36801 (mail to 36803) - Records Division: 334-705-5295 - Public records request line: 334-705-5110 - Email: rjones@opelika-al.gov - Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM **The Alabama-specific reality:** the Lee County Sheriff's Office takes a slightly different approach than most Alabama agencies. Per the Sheriff's policy and the county magistrate office: **if someone suspects a warrant has been issued against them, they must appear in person at the Lee County Sheriff's Department.** They will not confirm warrants by phone for privacy and operational reasons. **For a court-level confirmation:** the Lee County Circuit Clerk can verify whether a specific warrant tied to a known case is still active. Statewide docket: alacourt.gov **Watch out for scams:** Lee County has actively warned about scammers calling residents claiming to be deputies and saying there's a warrant for missing jury duty. **Real deputies do not collect fines or warrant payments by phone.** If you get such a call, hang up and contact the Sheriff's office directly. **If the warrant is on you:** consult a Lee County defense attorney before walking into the Sheriff's department. The 30-minute consult is cheaper than getting booked without representation

Question 6

Where do I find a deed or property record in Alabama?

Accepted Answer

In Alabama, deeds and recorded property documents are filed at the **county Probate Office** (the office that doubles as the recorder), and assessment/tax data is at the **county Revenue Commissioner** or Tax Assessor (in Mobile, Jefferson, and a few others, separate Tax Assessor and Tax Collector offices). Most counties have free online search portals: Jefferson (jeffcoprobatecourt.com — fees $84.50 first copy, $28 standard recording), Mobile (probate.mobilecountyal.gov — deed tax $0.50 per $500 value), Baldwin (baldwincountyal.gov/government/probate-office/recording — $5 archive fee, $1 per name after two), Madison, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa (tuscco.com — $5 minimum filing). Statewide deed tax is $1.00 per $1,000 of value, rounded up. Bring an Alabama Real Estate Sales Validation form when filing a new deed — recording without it is rejected. Certified copies typically run $1–$3 per page. Online deed images normally go back to the 1990s; older books (often handwritten) require an in-person visit to the courthouse. Sources: Jefferson Probate (jeffcoprobatecourt.com), Mobile Probate, Baldwin County, Tuscaloosa County, Limestone County
