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.
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 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.
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Mississippi?▼
Yes — in Mississippi, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
