Outstanding Warrants: What You Need to Know

Outstanding Warrants: What You Need to Know

An outstanding warrant is a court order for your arrest. You might not even know you have one. Here's how to find out—and what to do if you do.

What Is an Outstanding Warrant?

A warrant is a legal document issued by a judge that authorizes law enforcement to arrest you. Common reasons include:

• Missing a court date
• Failing to pay a fine
• Violating terms of probation or parole
• A new criminal charge
• Bench warrant (issued by a judge in court)

What Happens If You Have a Warrant?

If a warrant is issued, law enforcement can arrest you at any time—at home, work, during a traffic stop, anywhere. The best option is to turn yourself in voluntarily with a bail agent by your side.

Why voluntarily? Because judges are more lenient with people who turn themselves in. It shows responsibility and cooperation.
