Who Issues Warrants in Camden County
In New Jersey an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Camden County that means the Superior Court of New Jersey, Camden County, which hears every civil, criminal, family and probate case. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Superior Court Clerk and the County Clerk keep that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Camden County
Whether a warrant is out from Camden County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Superior Court Clerk and the County Clerk at 856-757-7100, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- New Jersey Courts Public Access, the Judiciary's free online case search for civil and criminal cases, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Prosecutor, phone (856) 225-8400, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Camden County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the New Jersey State Police is not open to the public in New Jersey, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
