It depends on the situation. Most warrants are active until you are picked up by the police and arrested, turn yourself in, or have the warrant recalled by a judge. In some cases, the court will set a expiration date and if the warrant isn't served, the judge will decide whether to issue a new one.
NO WARRANTS issued in the STATE of MARYLAND on CRIMINAL MATTERS have an EXPIRATION DATE. Warrants are ACTIVE/GOOD until either "RECALLED/QUASHED" by the HONORABLE COURT or "SERVED" upon the DEFENDANT.
In the state of Oregon, there is no statute of limitations on bench warrants. Bench warrants remain valid until the person it is issued for is arrested.

NEVER, as is the case for any warrant. NEVER is not the case for all bench warrants and its certainly not the case for all arrest warrants..... A Bench warrant will stay active till you are either brought before the court,the court drops the warrant itself, you die or you do some legal action to resolve the warrant. In some city courts, bench warrants for traffic tickets and unpaid fines are sometimes cleared after a number of years but that is a city by city issue. There are statute of limitations set on arrest warrants(meaning you committed a crime but have not been arrested by the police) that vary from state to state and once the statute of limitations is reached for that specific crime you can not be prosecuted for that crime and the arrest warrant becomes void,such as an arrest warrant issed in the state of Maryland in 1956 for a person who committed petty theft would no longer be valid in 2012 because the states statute of limitaions on the crime of petty theft is only 20 years..
Bench warrants are generally issued for violations of state law. A person may be arrested on a bench warrant in any part of the state where it is issued, or even in another state is the issuing state is willing to extradite the offender.
Yes. Upon enlisting a complete background check is executed.
Depending on the offense and the state's willingness to extradite you for it, yes.
Probably not. All states check for warrants as part of their process in which they issue licenses and ID's

Warrants never expire. They exist until canceled by the judge.
yes they can Ky is a Commenwealth state and will aid outher states in warrentsAdded: The answer depends on whether or not the state issuing the warrant entered the information into the interstate system. Bench warrants often are NOT entered. You don't really want to chance it - 'Murphy's Law' is ALWAYS in full effect.
Contrary to popular belief/myth/legend, arrest warrants do not expire. They will always remain in NCIC (nationwide) or the state's computer system until you are apprehended and brought before a judge.
