- 1). Check your county sheriff's website. If your county has this service, it is a matter of inputting your personal information to find your warrant status. This step requires that you know the county in which a warrant may be pending.
- 2). Hire an attorney. If you have the funds to hire a lawyer, get one to investigate your legal status. If the attorney finds that you do have an arrest warrant pending, she will be able to advise you.
- 3). Have a friend call the sheriff's office. If you have a friend who is a business owner, have him make inquiries on your behalf. Business owners have the right to this information as part of employment background checks, so put in an application at your friend's place of business and he can find out your warrant status.
- 4). Use an online warrant search service. There are services online that will search national databases in order to investigate your warrant status. They vary in price, but most are less than $100. These services save a lot of time if you are searching in multiple jurisdictions.
- 5). Ask a police officer. Police officers have the possibility of finding your warrant status at a moment's notice, simply by checking the computer in their vehicle. You are taking a chance at being arrested at this point, but taking care of the problem may be the best thing for you at this time.
- 6). Fix the problem as soon as you find out that you have a warrant pending. Often, warrants are for simple things like not paying fines or not completing community service hours. Go to your local law enforcement agency, explain the problem and find out what you need to do to fix the problem. There may be additional fines involved or court dates, but clearing your record is the important thing.
