PUH-LEEZ. When they do a background check on you - guess what they're going to find?
Yes, all warrants may be served nationally. A person who is the subject of a warrant can be arrested on that warrant in any state.
five years
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.
None. A warrant is valid until served or canceled by the court. Save the hassle and deal with it.
If the warrant was entered into your state and/or national criminal information database, yes, it should.
If the warrant was entered into the interstate system (NCIC) yes, it will show up.
The questioner does not state what they might be wanted for. On many crimes (especially felonies) there is no statutue of limitations. If the warrant is still on file, it will show up on a background check or if your name is run. There is NO way of knowing the answer to this question.
When they check your ID against the state data base in order to confirm it, if the warrant is on file in the computer system, it WILL show up and it is likely that they will call the police.
It is very likely to show up. A warrant is usually public knowledge and shared across jurisdictions.
Many states have a "wanted or missing persons" database within their state police website; you can check there, but you can't check an NCIC database (only cops can). You can check the court sites for the state or county you think the problem occurred in. Check the individual's name; any outstanding cases with warrants are usually flagged with a "W" or "in warrant".
It can depend on the job you are trying for, how far back the check will go, and/or if the warrant is still active. If they check back for the 5 years you indicate, it IS possible (even probable) that the outstanding warrant will show up.
