Who Issues Warrants in Morgan County
In Utah an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Morgan County that means the District Court for Morgan County, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, probate and class A misdemeanors; the Justice Courts, which take traffic tickets, class B and C misdemeanors and small claims, issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the clerk of court.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at morgancountyutah.gov/district-court (page title: Justice Court Services | Morgan County Utah), phone (801) 845-6008, 48 W Young Street Morgan, UT 84050, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026. That page belongs to a lower court, the Justice Courts, not to the District Court for Morgan County.

How to Check for a Warrant in Morgan County
The places to check for a warrant from Morgan County:
- The court file of the case, through the clerk of court at (801) 845-6008, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- MyCase and Xchange, free case lookup for parties through MyCase; the public Xchange search is by subscription, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, phone (801) 845-4006, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Morgan County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's and the prosecutor's) 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 Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification is not open to the public in Utah, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Morgan County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Morgan County starts with the clerk of court at (801) 845-6008: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the District Court for Morgan County.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at morgancountyutah.gov/county-attorney785bff30, phone (801) 845-4006.
