Frequently Asked Questions

Does an active warrant show up on a background check in Missouri?
Yes. Active warrants in Missouri appear on name-based criminal background checks through the Missouri State Highway Patrol – Criminal Records system the moment they are entered. Some employers also run a separate NCIC warrant query, which catches federal warrants as well.
What's the difference between a bench warrant and an arrest warrant in Missouri?
An arrest warrant is issued by a judge based on probable cause that a crime was committed. A bench warrant is issued when someone fails to appear in court or violates a court order. Both authorize police to take you into custody in Missouri — bench warrants are far more common in traffic and minor cases.
How do I expunge a Missouri criminal record?
In Missouri, the expungement process runs through the Circuit Court of conviction (the sentencing court). Eligibility is narrow — typically limited to non-conviction outcomes, certain misdemeanors, and a limited number of offenses per lifetime. The filing fee is approximately $250 (one $250 per offense lim).
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Missouri?
Yes — in Missouri, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
