Who Issues Warrants in Seminole County
In Georgia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Seminole County that means the Seminole 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 gsccca.org/clerks/clerk-results?cid=125 (page title: Clerk Results), phone (229) 524-2525, 200 South Knox Ave. P.O Box 672 DONALSONVILLE, GA 39845, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 1, 2026.
Georgia has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in Seminole County

The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Seminole County: the State Patrol at Donalsonville (state police); it serves warrants on its own ground.

Each agency and what it reported is in Seminole County arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Seminole 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 Seminole County Sheriff's Office, held about 47 people on an average day so far in 2026 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at seminolecosheriff.com/inmate-search, phone 877-654-8463. The Seminole County inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Seminole 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 Seminole County
Whether a warrant is out from Seminole County shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Superior Court at (229) 524-2525, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The custody page of the Seminole County Sheriff's Office at seminolecosheriff.com/inmate-search, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Seminole County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court'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 Seminole County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Seminole County starts with the Clerk of Superior Court at (229) 524-2525: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the State Court and Magistrate Court is handled by that court, not by the Seminole County Superior Court.
