  • How do I find out if someone has a warrant in Missouri?
    To look for a warrant, you need to do some searching unless you hire someone else or an entity to search for you. Warrants can be searched throughout the state by checking with the law enforcement agency of that area, such as the sheriff for the county and police for municipalities. There are federal warrants; however, they are not as common. It depends greatly on where the warrant was issued; some departments have the data online, and others don't, so it's hard to say precisely how. You can search for questions and answers at the county level. When you enter "Missouri warrant search," you will see a list of sheriff's departments that provide online warrant lists. All may not be listed initially, so you may need to look by individual county names. Judges/courts issue warrants and law enforcement gets them after to serve them to the individual.
