Frequently Asked Questions

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.
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.
How long can ICE hold someone after their criminal case ends?
ICE detainers request up to 48 hours of additional custody after a person would otherwise be released — though several federal courts have limited or rejected this practice, and policies vary by jurisdiction. After 48 hours without ICE taking custody, the hold legally expires.
How long does an arrest stay on my record in Mississippi if I wasn't convicted?
In Mississippi, 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. Mississippi's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety – Criminal Information Center.
