Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an arrest stay on my record in Missouri if I wasn't convicted?
In Missouri, an arrest stays on your record indefinitely unless you petition the court to seal or expunge it, even if charges were dropped or you were found not guilty. Missouri's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Missouri State Highway Patrol – Criminal Records.
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 is an ICE detainer (Form I-247)?
An ICE detainer (Form I-247) is a written request from ICE asking a local jail to hold someone for up to 48 additional hours after they would normally be released so ICE can take custody. Federal courts have held that detainers are requests, not orders — whether a jail honors a detainer depends on the local sheriff's policy.
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.
