What is an Arrest Warrant?

In Kern County, there are approximately 10,000 crimes committed every year. When an arrest warrant is issued, the court deems enough evidence exists to prove a person has violated the law. Once a judge signs an arrest warrant, law enforcement officials have the authority to apprehend offenders. Unfortunately, many people don't even realize an open warrant exists in their name. It could be for a minor offense or from an unpaid traffic ticket. Regardless of the reason, if you don't take care of a warrant, the results can be detrimental. To find out if an outstanding warrant exists, you need to perform an official warrant check in Kern County.

Does a Warrant Expire in Kern County?

A warrant remains active until you either:

2. Appear in court, or
3. Post bail

If appearing at a future court date is a condition of your bail, and you fail to appear, the court may issue a new arrest warrant, and the bail will be forfeited.
