How do I find out if I have an outstanding warrant in a federal case?

If you want to know whether you have an outstanding warrant in a federal case, call the federal clerk of the court for your district. If you are uneasy about calling the clerk of the court yourself, you can have another person call for you.

Another option is to go to the courthouse and look up your name in its public records. If it’s possible, have another person do this for you, as you risk being taken into custody if you have an outstanding warrant.

You may have multiple outstanding warrants out for your arrest in different federal circuits. The clerk of the court for one circuit may not be able to tell you whether you have a warrant in another circuit. Consider working with a bail bondsman or an attorney to determine if you have multiple warrants.
