Warrants are a matter of public record and police departments and other law enforcement agencies generally post them on their website and/or in some cases newspapers print a list of persons who have active warrants. The information can also be found through online court records but the interested party would probably need to know the court, the date and the docket number where the warrant was issued. The best place to start would be to do a search of the county police department website where it is believed the warrant may have been issued. Added: To my knowledge, there are no publicly accessible websites or databases that reveal this information. Simplest and easiest way is to call your local law enforcement agency and simply ask.
You, or a member of your family, can request a background criminal history record check on you from you local law enforcement agency.

• There are many counties in many states who have active/outstanding warrants listed online as well, usually through links from the sheriffs office or county jail . There is also websites that provide a complete criminal background and warrant check for a price and they do not always have all the information that your local law enforcement has. Current that will allow you to do a search for a warrant. Or you can call the local court house in the county you believe you may have a warrant in and they will inform you.
Obviously, you wouldn't even have to worry about a warrant issued for you if you haven't committed any offenses.
Therefore, if you have committed an offense, call the sheriff's office of the county in which you comitted the crime and simply ask.

I just obtained an ID in my state and was not aware of a warrant until after I got it.
Yes. Every warrant specifies where it can be served, so the answer depends on what the judge ordered when the warrant was issued.
Probably not but check with the state police. Usually you have to have felony to be banned
You will get a warrant issued for your infraction in the state where you committed the offense.
I'm not aware of any states extraditing for a misdemeanor, but the misdemeanor warrant will remain active until the individual is arrested, therefore, if you go back to the state where there is a warrant, you are subject to being arrested.
A warrant can be issued for you regardless of where you live. Residing in a different state does not prevent a warrant being issued for you in the state where you committed the offense.
Yes.
Maybe , maybe not. If they contact the other states authorities and they decide they want you you will be held and transported to that state.
Governor's warrant: Refers to a warrant issued by the Governor's office and used to extradite a wanted suspect from another state, where they are being held under arrest, in order to be returned to the warrant-issuing state to face trial for a criminal act.
Whenever a non-bailable warrant is said to exist against a person, the police is duty bound to arrest and produce him in the court which issued the same.
