Hennepin County Warrant Records Hennepin County Warrant Records

This is a private reference site, so the useful contacts are the government offices that hold Hennepin County warrant records. The Fourth Judicial District holds the court files and the appearances, the Warrant Helpline answers general warrant questions, the Sheriff's Warrant Office confirms status and explains bail, and the Records Center handles copies of court documents. The numbers and addresses below are the ones to use for a real answer about a real case.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot confirm whether a warrant exists, recall or clear a warrant, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the Hennepin County District Court or the Sheriff's Warrant Office directly.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Here is where the questions people ask most often about Hennepin County warrants are actually answered:

  • Whether a warrant exists: start with the court's Warrant Helpline at 612-540-6485 on a weekday, or call the district court at 612-348-6000 with the full legal name and date of birth if no case number is known
  • A bench warrant for a missed court date: contact the Fourth Judicial District, because a Minnesota district court judge issues the warrant and keeps the file; there is no municipal or justice-of-the-peace court holding it
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: talk to a licensed Minnesota attorney and the issuing court about a turn-in, posting bail or bond, or a motion to recall or quash
  • An arrest warrant tied to a charge: the court sets the charge and the bail, and the Sheriff's Warrant Office confirms the status and the turn-in instructions
  • Copies of court documents: the Hennepin District Court Records Center handles copy requests, and it does not take orders by phone
