Frequently Asked Questions

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.
Are Missouri marriage records public?
Marriage records in Missouri are generally public — anyone can verify that a marriage occurred and request a non-certified copy. Certified copies (needed for legal purposes like name changes or immigration) may be restricted to the spouses, immediate family, or those with a court order.
Are Lafayette County records free to search?
Yes — every link on this page goes directly to an official government source. Basic searches at the Lexington sheriff, court, and recorder websites are free. Certified copies and formal background checks carry the standard government fee.
Can my employer see a sealed record in Missouri?
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed Missouri record. However, government employers, law enforcement, schools, healthcare facilities, and any role requiring a fingerprint-based check can see sealed records under specific statutory exemptions. Confirm specifics with the sealing court.
