Who Issues Warrants in Bond County
In Illinois an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Bond County that means the Circuit Court of Bond County, 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 Circuit Clerk keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at circuitclerk.bondcountyil.gov (page title: Bond County Circuit Clerk (IL)), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
