How to Search Arizona Wants & Warrants (Start Here)
Active warrants in Arizona are maintained by law enforcement at state, county, and local levels. There is no single database of all warrants in Arizona.
What this page covers: Arizona state warrant databases, most-wanted lists, and county-level warrant search tools where available. What it does not cover: Federal warrants (those are handled by the U.S. Marshals and FBI).
Where to start: Check the state law enforcement agency first for statewide warrant searches. For county-level warrants, contact the county sheriff. Many county sheriffs post active warrant lists on their websites.
Common mistake: Most-wanted lists only show high-priority fugitives. If you need to check whether someone has any active warrant, a most-wanted list is not enough — contact the county sheriff or clerk of court directly.

How do I know if I have an outstanding warrant in Arizona?▼
Most warrants in Arizona are issued at the county or municipal level by the local court or sheriff. The Official Arizona Wants & Warrants (www.azdps.gov) publishes statewide and felony-level warrant data; for misdemeanor and traffic warrants you generally must contact the clerk of the issuing court directly. Sheriffs in each county also maintain local active-warrant pages.
Can a private person serve or enforce a warrant in Arizona?▼
No. Only sworn law-enforcement officers can serve and execute warrants in Arizona. Civilians who locate a wanted person should report the information to the Official Arizona Wants & Warrants or local law enforcement at www.azdps.gov rather than attempt direct contact. Some Arizona warrants also carry a reward administered by the issuing agency.
How do I clear an old Arizona warrant?▼
A Arizona warrant generally must be cleared through the court that issued it — by appearing in person, hiring counsel, or filing a motion to quash. The Official Arizona Wants & Warrants can confirm whether a warrant is currently active in the statewide system at www.azdps.gov, but only the issuing judge can recall or quash it.
Does Arizona share warrant data with other states?▼
Yes. Arizona warrants that meet entry criteria are uploaded to the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC), making them visible to law enforcement nationwide. The Official Arizona Wants & Warrants at www.azdps.gov manages Arizona's NCIC interface and entry standards.
