Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Missouri?▼
Yes. Search the Circuit Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Missouri counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
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 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.
