If you are arrested on an outstanding warrant, you will be forced to appear before a judge in court. You may then need to post bail to secure your release. Outstanding warrants can also appear on background checks when you apply for jobs or housing, which means they can have a hugely damaging effect on your life if they are not resolved.However, judges and court magistrates are not required to notify you when they issue a warrant for your arrest. You may have outstanding warrants against you and not even know it. Unfortunately, your lack of knowledge about a warrant does not mean law enforcement officers will let you off the hook. Consequently, it\u2019s always in your best interest to take active steps to learn whether you have any outstanding warrants in Nevada.What Are the Different Types of Warrants in Nevada?There are two primary types of warrants issued by Nevada courts:Arrest warrants\u00a0\u2013 Judges issue arrest warrants when they suspect you have committed a criminal offense. Suspects are not typically notified of arrest warrants because courts do not want to alert wanted individuals and give them the chance to evade law enforcement. Police officers make active efforts to locate suspects with outstanding arrest warrants.Bench warrants\u00a0\u2013 Judges issue bench warrants when individuals fail to satisfy legal obligations, such as failing to attend scheduled court appearances or pay court-ordered child support. Police officers typically will not actively search for you if you have an outstanding bench warrant, but they are legally obligated to arrest you if they check your ID during a traffic stop or other exchange.How Can I Find Out If I Have a Warrant?Many people wonder about how to check for a warrant. Information about active warrants is available in public records from a variety of sources. There are plenty of websites that charge money for warrant searches, but the information is usually free if you know where to look.In most cases, the court that issued your warrant will have a record of it in their published outstanding warrant list. If you aren\u2019t sure which court may have issued the warrant, you can narrow down the list of options by considering where you were originally arrested, cited for a legal violation, or asked to appear in court.Here are the websites and contact information for local courts throughout Las Vegas, Clark County, and surrounding areas:Eighth Judicial District Court200 Lewis Ave, Las Vegas, NV. 89155(702) 671-0514Las Vegas Justice Court Criminal, Traffic and Civil200 Lewis Ave, Las Vegas, NV. 89155(702) 671-3201Clark County Justice CourtsBoulder, Bunkerville, Goodsprings, Henderson, Laughlin, Mesquite, Moapa, Moapa Valley, North Las Vegas, and Searchlight.North Las Vegas Justice Court2428 N Martin L King Blvd # A North Las Vegas, NV 89032-3700(702) 455-7801Las Vegas Municipal Court495 S.
