Who Issues Warrants in Grant County
In Minnesota an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Grant County that means the Grant County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case.
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 court administrator.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us/CaseSearch (page title: Case Search | Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO)), phone (651) 793-2400, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Grant County
Whether a warrant is out from Grant County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the court administrator at (651) 793-2400, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Minnesota Court Records Online, the Minnesota Judicial Branch's free statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, phone 218-685-5353, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Grant 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 Grant County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Grant County starts with the court administrator at (651) 793-2400: 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 County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at grantcountymn.gov, phone 218-685-5353.
