Who Issues Warrants in Green County
In Wisconsin an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Green County that means the Green County Circuit Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
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 Circuit Court.

The places to check for a warrant from Green County:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Circuit Court at 608-328-9433, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, the free statewide case search of every circuit court, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
Not one of the Green County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court'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.
