How to Search Minnesota Wants & Warrants (Start Here)
Active warrants in Minnesota are maintained by law enforcement at state, county, and local levels. There is no single database of all warrants in Minnesota.
What this page covers: Minnesota 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free statewide criminal search in Minnesota?▼
Minnesota's official criminal-history repository is operated by the state law-enforcement agency. Free public access to a complete criminal history is generally not available; an official background check typically requires fingerprints and a fee. County-level court records can be searched at no cost through individual court websites.
How do I search Minnesota court cases?▼
Minnesota's court system is headed by the Minnesota Supreme Court. Trial-court business is handled by the District Court (10 judicial districts). Many Minnesota courts publish docket searches and case lookups online — see the Court Records tab above for direct links.
Where do I search Minnesota business entities?▼
The Minnesota Secretary of State (or equivalent agency) operates the official business-entity search. You can typically search corporations, LLCs, LPs, and other registered entities by name or registration number. See the Licenses or Business tab above.
What is the difference between Assessor and Recorder in Minnesota?▼
The Assessor determines property values for tax purposes. The Recorder (or Clerk-Recorder) records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other property documents. Some county offices combine these roles, others keep them separate. Check the specific county page for details.
How do I obtain a Minnesota birth or death certificate?▼
Minnesota vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce certificates) are issued by the Minnesota Department of Health (Office of Vital Records) and, in many cases, by local county clerks. Fees and ID requirements are set by the issuing agency.
Are Minnesota property records free to search?▼
Most county-level property and recorded-document searches are free for basic information through the Assessor or Recorder website. Certified copies of deeds typically have a per-page fee. Direct links are in the Property Records tab above.
How do I check a Minnesota sex offender?▼
The Minnesota sex offender registry is maintained by the state law-enforcement agency under the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Act. The registry is searchable by name, ZIP code, or address.
