Who Issues Warrants in Hiram
In Georgia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Hiram that means the Paulding County Superior Court, which hears felonies, divorces, land title cases and civil cases without a dollar limit; the State Court and Magistrate Court 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 Superior Court.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at paulding.gov/1318/CASE-SEARCH (page title: CASE SEARCH | Paulding County, GA), phone 770 443-7527, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Hiram Is Held

How to Check for a Warrant in Hiram
The places to check for a warrant from Hiram:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Superior Court at 770 443-7527, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 770-443-7561, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Paulding 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Hiram
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Hiram that means appearing before the Paulding County Superior Court or the State Court and Magistrate Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Clerk of Superior Court.
A missed date in a case before the State Court and Magistrate Court is handled by that court, not by the Paulding County Superior Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at paulding.gov/139/District-Attorney, phone 770-443-7561.
