Frequently Asked Questions
Does an active warrant show up on a background check in Mississippi?▼
Yes. Active warrants in Mississippi appear on name-based criminal background checks through the Mississippi Department of Public Safety – Criminal Information Center 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 Mississippi?▼
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 Mississippi — bench warrants are far more common in traffic and minor cases.
How do I run a Mississippi background check?▼
Mississippi background checks are handled by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety – Criminal Information Center. Name-based searches are available through the official state portal (per-search fee applies). Fingerprint-based checks — required for licensing, foster care, and many employers — must be submitted through an approved vendor.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Mississippi?▼
Yes. Search the Circuit Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Mississippi counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
