Q: Is there any way to find out if someone has a federal warrant for their arrest
A:
Call the federal clerk of the court within your district. Inquire with the clerk about current federal warrants, and give the clerk your first name, last name, date of birth and Social Security number. If you are not comfortable contacting the federal clerk yourself, have a friend or relative call on your behalf. Some districts do not provide active warrant information via the telephone.
or
Call the National Crime Information Center at 304-625-2000 and ask to have your name ran in the Wanted Persons database. Provide the operator with your first and last name. You may be required to provide your Social Security number to ensure the warrant is issued for you and not for another individual with the same name. The operator will inform you of any active federal warrants.
