Who Issues Warrants in Greene County
In Alabama an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Greene County that means the Greene County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $20,000, divorces and appeals from the district court; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and preliminary hearings in felony cases, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Circuit Clerk keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at court.info/states/alabama/Greene (page title: COURT INFO | Greene County Courts -Alabama District and Circuit Courts), phone 205-372-3598, 400 Morrow Ave, PO Box 307 Eutaw, AL 35462, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 1, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Greene County
Whether a warrant is out from Greene County shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk at 205-372-3598, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Alacourt, the statewide online index of Alabama trial court cases, sold by subscription, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
The one Greene County page SearchSystems verified, the court's, is not a list of open warrants.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is not open to the public in Alabama, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Greene County
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Greene County that means appearing before the Greene County Circuit Court or the District Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Circuit Clerk.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Greene County Circuit Court.
