Who Issues Warrants in Solano County
In California an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Solano County that means the Superior Court of California, County of Solano, 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.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at portal.solano.courts.ca.gov (page title: Solano Superior Court | Portal), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
California has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in Solano County
The Solano County Sheriff's Office and the agencies that report for Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville, Suisun City, Benicia, Dixon and one more cities serve warrants in Solano County.
The FBI's agency list also places three state police units, one other agency and one campus police department in Solano County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Solano County Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Solano County Sheriff's Office, held about 500 people on an average day in 2025 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at solanocounty.gov/government/sheriff-coroner/public-information/jail....

A person arrested in Solano County on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Solano County
The places to check for a warrant from Solano County:
- The court file of the case, through the Superior Court clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 707-784-6800, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Solano County Sheriff's Office at solanocounty.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Solano 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 California Department of Justice is not open to the public in California, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Solano County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Solano County starts with the Superior Court clerk: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at solanocounty.gov/government/district-attorney, phone 707-784-6800.
