Who Issues Warrants in Mohave County
In Arizona an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Mohave County that means the Mohave County Superior Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $10,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Justice Courts, which take misdemeanors, traffic cases, civil cases up to $10,000 and evictions, issue their own warrants on the cases before them. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the Clerk of the Superior Court.

How to Check for a Warrant in Mohave County
Whether a warrant is out from Mohave County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of the Superior Court, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Public Access to Court Information, the Arizona Judicial Branch's free statewide case search; the Maricopa and Pima county courts run their own, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, phone (928) 753-0719, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Mohave County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Arizona Department of Public Safety is not open to the public in Arizona, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Mohave County
