Checking for Outstanding Warrants

Method 1: County Clerk of Court Website

Many Florida counties allow you to search court records online, which may show active warrants.

Method 2: Call the Sheriff's Office

Contact the county sheriff's office non-emergency line and ask if there are active warrants for your name. Note: they may ask you to come in person.

Method 3: Hire an Attorney

A criminal defense attorney can check for warrants on your behalf and arrange a voluntary surrender if one exists. This is the safest approach.
