Common Questions
Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes. Note: Statewide FAQ — applies to all of Arkansas. No city-specific FAQ is available yet — the answers below apply to the broader jurisdiction.
How do I check if there's an active warrant in Little Rock?▼
Three sources for active warrants in Little Rock. (1) **Pulaski County Sheriff's Office** at https://pcso.org — most county-level felony and unincorporated warrants. The PCSO Detention Facility is at 3201 W Roosevelt Rd, Little Rock AR 72204. Inmate roster (current detainees including booked warrants) at https://pulaski-so-ar.zuercherportal.com. (2) **Pulaski County District Court Warrants** at https://pulaskicountydc.com/warrants/, phone (501) 340-6850 — bench warrants for failure to appear in District Court (misdemeanors, traffic, city ordinance). The District Court can also tell you how to **clear the warrant** by appearing voluntarily (often a re-set hearing date with a $25–$100 motion fee, far better than getting picked up on a stop). (3) **Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect** at https://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov — every filed case shows whether a bench warrant has been issued for failure to appear; covers Pulaski Circuit Court (felonies, divorce) and District Courts statewide. (4) **Little Rock Police Department** for warrants from city-level cases: 700 W Markham St, Little Rock AR 72201, phone (501) 371-4621. (5) **Arkansas State Police Most Wanted** at https://dps.arkansas.gov for serious statewide fugitives. **What won't show up**: confidential warrants in active investigations and sealed indictments. **Strong recommendation**: if a warrant might be out for you, retain a defense attorney before walking into a station. A planned voluntary surrender — often with bond posted in advance — beats a traffic-stop arrest. Sources: Pulaski County Sheriff, Pulaski County District Court, Arkansas Judiciary.
What's the way to search for inmates in Union?▼
Searching for inmates in Union County, Arkansas (El Dorado) splits across three layers. (1) **Union County Jail** (county-level pre-trial and short-sentence inmates) — Union County Sheriff's Office, **250 American Rd, El Dorado AR 71730**, phone (870) 864-1970. Live inmate roster at https://www.unioncountysheriff.net/inmateRoster — name, booking number, age, sex, race, booking date. Alternate roster via Citizen Connect at https://cc.southernsoftware.com/bookingsearch/index.php?AgencyID=UnionCoAR. The Union County Sheriff also maintains a bail-bond book per Arkansas statute. Current detainee count typically runs around 200. (2) **Arkansas state prison inmates** (sentenced felons) — Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate population search at https://portal.arkansas.gov/service/ar-inmate-population-search/ or directly at https://doc.arkansas.gov. (3) **Federal inmates** — Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/. (4) **Court records** for any case that produced a charge — Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect at https://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov, pick Union County. (5) **El Dorado Police Department** for incident reports inside city limits, 200 W Main St, El Dorado AR 71730, (870) 881-4800. **Visitation, deposit accounts, and inmate phone**: contact the Union County Sheriff at (870) 864-1970. Sources: Union County Sheriff's Office, AR DOC, Federal BOP, Arkansas Judiciary.
How do I check if there's an active warrant in Arkansas?▼
Three reliable sources for active warrants in Arkansas. (1) **County Sheriff active warrant list** — most counties publish a public list. Sebastian (Fort Smith) at https://warrants.sebastiancountyar.gov/; Benton at https://sheriff.bentoncountyar.gov; Pulaski (Little Rock) at https://pcso.org; White at https://wcso.cc; Sharp at https://www.sharpcountysheriff.com. Some counties also use the **ISOMS Warrant Portal** at https://arccportal.isoms.cloud:8004/portal/Warrants. (2) **Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect** at https://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov — every filed case shows whether a bench warrant has been issued for failure to appear; covers Circuit (felonies, divorce) and District (misdemeanors, traffic) courts in all 75 counties. (3) **Arkansas State Police Most Wanted** at https://dps.arkansas.gov for serious statewide fugitives, plus the **U.S. Marshals Profiled Fugitives** at https://www.usmarshals.gov/what-we-do/fugitive-apprehension/profiled-fugitives for federal warrants. **Won't show up**: confidential warrants in active investigations, sealed indictments, juvenile-court warrants. Many low-level municipal warrants don't propagate to county or state systems and require a phone call to the issuing court. **Quash a warrant**: most courts allow a Motion to Quash that re-sets a hearing date for around $25–$100 motion fee — much better than a traffic-stop arrest. **Strong recommendation**: if a warrant might be out for you, retain a defense attorney before walking into a station. Voluntary surrender on planned terms — bond posted in advance — beats an unplanned arrest. Sources: county sheriffs, Arkansas Judiciary, Arkansas State Police, ISOMS Portal.
How do I confirm someone has died in Garland?▼
To confirm a death in Garland County, Arkansas (Hot Springs area), use one of three sources. (1) **Arkansas Department of Health, Vital Records Section** at https://healthy.arkansas.gov/programs-services/certificates-records/, Slot 44, 4815 W Markham St, Little Rock AR 72205, phone (501) 661-2336. **Certified death certificate**: $10 first / $8 each additional. (2) **Garland County Clerk** at the courthouse, 501 Ouachita Ave, Hot Springs AR 71901, phone (501) 622-3610 — same fee schedule, often faster turnaround for recent deaths. (3) **VitalChek** at https://www.vitalchek.com/v/vital-records/arkansas — 3–5 business day express shipping, +$5 processing + $1.85 ID verification fee. **Free informal confirmations** (not legal proof but useful for genealogy or initial verification): Social Security Death Master File via FamilySearch.org, Find A Grave at https://www.findagrave.com (cemetery records), local newspaper obituaries (the Sentinel-Record covers Hot Springs and surrounding Garland County). **Eligibility for the certified copy**: spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, legal representative, person with direct interest (Ark. Code § 20-18-305). Government ID required. **Records become public 50 years after death**. For an apostille (international use), order through ADH then submit to the Arkansas Secretary of State. Sources: Arkansas Department of Health, Garland County Clerk, VitalChek.
How do I find a marriage record in Arkansas?▼
Arkansas marriage records sit in two places. (1) **County Clerk** — where the license was originally issued. The Clerk holds the original signed license and the certified-copy archive; **certified copies are $5.00 each plus postage** in most counties (Carroll County example). New license fee is $60.00 statewide (cash or credit card; no checks at most clerks — Pulaski Circuit Clerk at https://pulaskiclerkar.gov/departments/marriage-license/, Clark County https://clarkcountyar.gov/county-clerk/marriage-license-info/, Miller https://millercountyclerkar.com/fees/, Lonoke https://lonokecoclerk.com/fees/ all show $60). Both parties present, photo ID required. (2) **Arkansas Department of Health, Vital Records Section** — Slot 44, 4815 W Markham St, Little Rock AR 72205, phone (501) 661-2336, https://healthy.arkansas.gov/programs-services/certificates-records/order-marriage-records/. **Fee**: **$10.00 per certified copy**. Online ordering at https://ar.gov/vitalrecords adds a $5 standard processing fee plus $1.85 ID verification. VitalChek at https://www.vitalchek.com/v/vital-records/arkansas offers express shipping. **Eligibility (A.C.A. § 20-18-305)**: spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, legal representative, person with documented direct interest. Government photo ID required. **Records become public 50 years after the marriage date**. **Apostille for international use**: get the certified copy from the County Clerk, then submit to the Arkansas Secretary of State at 500 Woodlane St #256, Little Rock AR 72201. Sources: Arkansas Department of Health, county clerk fee schedules, A.C.A. § 20-18-305.
How do I get a copy of a divorce decree in Paragould?▼
Divorce decrees in Paragould, Arkansas are filed at the **Greene County Circuit Clerk** office in the courthouse — Bryan Feemster, Circuit Clerk, **320 W Court St, Room 124, Paragould AR 72450**, phone (870) 239-6330, https://greenecounty.arkansas.gov/circuit-clerk/. Three ways to get a copy. (1) **Online via Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect** at https://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov — free case search; pick Greene County, search by name. Shows the case number and disposition; certified copies still require a Clerk's office order. (2) **In person or mail** at the Clerk's office: certified copy of any document is **$5 first page + $5 each additional**, plus a $5 search fee for older files. (3) **Online ordering** via the official Greene County courts portal at http://www.greenecountycourts.org/fees. **Recently filed divorce filing fees** (for context): a new dissolution-of-marriage petition is **$165 filing fee** plus $5 service per defendant. Sealed cases (e.g., where minors are involved or domestic-violence orders apply) are not visible to the public. **Older divorces** (pre-2000) often require a physical archive search at the Clerk's office. **Important**: Arkansas does NOT issue separate state-level divorce certificates — the Circuit Clerk's certified decree IS the official record. For an apostille (international use), get the certified copy first, then take it to the Arkansas Secretary of State. Sources: Greene County Circuit Clerk, Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect, Greene County Courthouse Fees.
