What To Do If You Have a Warrant in Missouri?

Citizens of Missouri are encouraged by the state to come forward and satisfy their outstanding warrants beforehand to avoid any unnecessary arrests. By doing this you may reduce the fine since you acted in good faith. It should be noted that once an arrest warrant is issued there is no statute of limitations. In other words, arrest warrants don't expire. You can be arrested at any time especially during one of the Missouri Warrant Roundups.

In addition to risking arrest, anyone with a warrant in Missouri may have a hold placed on the renewal of their vehicle registration or license until the warrant is resolved. Or their license may be revoked altogether.

It's strongly advised to seek legal counsel if you find yourself with a warrant in your name and aren't sure what to do, especially if you have a warrant for a more serious crime. Only a criminal lawyer will be able to act on your behalf, post a bond, represent you in court, and get the record removed if it's eligible. Plus, a lawyer is knowledgeable about the law and is more apt to get results with the court since they have a relationship with the judicial system. Even though a lawyer costs money courts are much more likely to work out a deal with a lawyer than with an individual who represents his or her own case.


How To Pay Fine in Missouri
If you think you have an outstanding warrant in Missouri the fastest and easiest way to know for sure is to conduct an online search. Start by typing your name in the search box to the right and you're on your way to finding out the answer in seconds.

Once you find you have a Missouri warrant in your name you will need to address it in order to avoid getting caught up in the Missouri Warrant Roundup. If you have the ticket or warrant in hand you can always pay the fine in person by visiting the local court house or DMV in the county where the warrant or ticket was issued. Remember to get a receipt and confirmation as proof the debt was paid.

If the warrant in your name is for a more serious crime the chances of being arrested on the spot if you go to the court house in person are high. If this be the case, the best thing to do it hire a lawyer. A qualified lawyer will post bond for you eliminating the threat of arrest and can resolve the warrant while protecting your best interests and rights.
