There are reasons to perform a background check, no matter if it’s for you or for someone else. Nowadays, you can do almost everything online, checking warrants is not an exception. In this post, we’ll show you how to find out if someone has a warrant online.
Search for a warrant on the court’s website
Many courthouses will provide single inquiry arrest warrant information. If you don’t want to ask by phone, you can search the local court’s website that might have issued the warrant. Some courts offer a search portal where you can look up warrants directly.
For example, if someone may issue a warrant in California, you can search the “superior court california” online.
Go to the government website and run a warrant search. You need to enter the following information:
- his/her full name,
- date of birth,
- driver’s license number
- court case number
You can also go to NCSC.org and find links to the regional court. But you still need to enter information to get the result.
If you don’t have enough information about the person or you can’t find anything, a third-party background check might be a better choice.
Use TruthFinder to check Warrant
TruthFinder is an online people search tool that could help you find out someone’s public records in a few minutes. Its database has billions of records from various sources including Federal courts, State courts, and County courts. On this website, you can search criminal records in a fast and easy way.
1) Go to TruthFinder.
2) Enter the person’s name and State. Then click SEARCH.
2) Once TruthFinder finds a match, you can scroll down and view all the criminal records.
In conclusion, if you know the basic information about that person such as full name, date of birth, or birthplace, running a court search on Google is a free way to check whether someone has a warrant online. However, Google search isn’t efficient and if you want a thorough investigation on someone, it’s better to choose people search engines like TruthFinder.
