Use an online public records database service
This is by far the best option. It's fast, easy and convenient. You can do it from the comfort of your own home, it's completely
confidential and it won't break the bank. Court Records is a good example of such a service.
Wait for the knock at the door
If you do nothing then you will eventually be contacted but by this time you might be in a lot of debt and left in a weak
position to defend yourself.
Call the courthouse - all of them
If you have a good idea of the area where you might have arrest warrants then you can enquire at the local courthouse. They
will be pleased to tell you if there are any active arrest warrants in your name. The problem is that you may have warrants
in other states or even other countries for that matter. You can't hope to call them all.
Ask a police officer
If you really must then you can ask a police officer but don't be surprised if they arrest you if they find one. It's their
job to arrest people that have active warrants.
