Who Issues Warrants in Amador County
In California an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Amador County that means the Superior Court of California, County of Amador, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate, traffic and juvenile case.
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 Superior Court clerk keeps that file.
For Amador County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at amador.courts.ca.gov/general-information/access-court-files-records (page title: Access Court Files & Records | Superior Court of California | County of Amador), 500 Argonaut Lane, Jackson, CA 95642, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

- The court file of the case, through the Superior Court clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
