Who Issues Warrants in Baldwin County
In Georgia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Baldwin County that means the Baldwin 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.
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 Clerk of Superior Court keeps that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Baldwin County
The places to check for a warrant from Baldwin County:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Superior Court at (478) 445-4007, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone (478) 445-5261, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Baldwin 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.
