If you think you have outstanding warrants in Maryland, consider working with a bail bondsman to determine where they exist. Although you can contact the Clerk of Court or search for arrest warrants in Maryland on the court website, results can be hard to decipher.
Outstanding Warrants in Maryland: Civil Cases
Most information on criminal cases is public record, while certain civil cases are private. Civil cases related to domestic violence, divorce, dependency, restraining orders, peace orders, or protective orders are likely to be private. If you are trying to identify these types of records, a bail bondsman usually has access to uncover this data.
Federal Case Arrest Warrants in Maryland
Some types of federal cases will not be on the public record, though most are. Federal cases are broken into different circuits within the state depending on your district. If you contact the Clerk of Court for one circuit, they may not be able to disclose information about outstanding arrest warrants in Maryland for another circuit. It’s best to work with a bail bondsman to determine if there is more than one arrest warrant in Maryland.
Personal Protection
If you are worried about turning yourself in, have a bail bondsman do this for you. This is the safest route to go as calling yourself puts you at risk of being tracked down and taken into custody. An experienced bail bondsman knows the appropriate process inside out and the best resources to use.
