If someone goes to get a state ID or license, do they check for outstanding warrents?

some do and some don't. it depends on the state.  if you don't have any outstanding warrents on you then your just fine and there is nothing to worry about.  if you have outstanding warrents then they will call the police and you will be held until they transport you back to the state that issued the warrents.

Yes, but you should have proof (like a receipt).

You would have a hard time unless there is a criminal aspect involved.You must show id just to get info. from your own box. I think you would need a court order.

it depends on the state and county.  A good place to start is by doing a google search for the county and state you live in with the search string of:\n\nAlameda county California warrant information\n\nActually Sac County has a website that is free, and gives count info, not sure about warrents though.  here is the link:\n\nhttps://services.saccourt.com/indexsearchnew/\n\nYou may need to just call.  If it is for you just pretend that you are callign for your kid if you want to avoid feeling like you are on the hot seat.\nWarrants/Fugitive Detail   874-5391

This depends on the jurisdiction, whether it is state, city, county, along with the reason for taking a license.  Ordinarily, you must have been given a paper that shows you have a license until you get it back.  You may contact the police department that took it in the first place.  And then, if you are unsuccessful, contact the local court for the case that is against you or to have your license reinstated.\n\nA driving license is issued by each state.  So the state is responsible for licenses.  That is where you can go, state agencies, state courts.

Nope, but they will still give you an ID.  Which you might want to have because if you get caught driving and you are suspended and you don't have ID then you are even more arrestable.

I can almost guarantee you live in Maricopa County (Phoenix).  The reason I say that is that I am a licensed bail bond agent and have bailed out many for the charge of "Failure to Show Identification/Driver's License to Law Enforcement Officer".  \n\nHowever, according to current federal law (and I apologize but I am quoting Wikipedia because it does explain it well; link below).\n\n"Unless an individual locality (city, town, county, township, etc.) has passed a "stop and identify" statute, persons stopped in states not listed above are seemingly still not obligated to identify themselves when detained by police."\n\nThe Supreme Court Case this refers to is Hiibel v. Sixth  Judicial District Court of Nevada.  Again, I quote, "The Hiibel case does not compel a person to show identification to a police officer upon demand. As of 2005, Americans are not compelled to carry identification (unless they are driving a car or performing another action that requires a license in that state).\n\nThe Hiibel case does not create a federal law that requires a person to give his or her name to a police officer upon request; it merely rules that states may issue such a law, and such a law is not unconstitutional. If a state does not have such a law, then people in that state are not required to give their names."\n\nMost police officers get around this by saying they have probable cause or are doing a "warrant check".  So far, in Arizona, they have been getting away with this.  Check out the link to see what states actually have a law on stop and identify statutes.\n\nThe Hiibel case only applies when a person is detained due to a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. If no such reasonable suspicion exists, the person is not required to provide his or her name.

Most states/counties have a web site where a person can enter a name to find out if there are any outstanding warrants, but I don't know if the web site tells what the warrant has been issued for. Whatever it's for, it won't go away until whatever caused the problem in the first place is resolved - and that requires going to court at some point. Sorry this isn't much help. Good luck.

You have to get the ID from California.  Florida does not have the information on you to reissue an ID.

its regulated by the states call your local state police branch and ask.

If you are not the person listed, they will not give you warrant info over the phone.\n\nThe sheriff office may not be the ones doing it,  were they sheriff officers,  or where they county marshals or city police officers, or state police officers.

Those who have said that you must have ID with you at all times, all across the states, are wrong.  In California, there is no such law.  There are certain situations in which you need to be able to prove your identity, but just walking down the street is not one of them.\n\nThe last poster...Bob something...quotes as his source, "UAPD" and I don't know what that is.  If he comes back, it would be helpful if he'd explain his source a little more.\n\nFrankly, any state that requires you to carry ID at all times is probably asking for trouble.  California did have a law like that twenty-some years ago, but it was ruled unconstitutional (and rightfully so).  I don't know if it was the California Supreme Court who decided that, or *the* Supreme Court.\n\nIt would be ridiculous to require a person to carry ID with them at all time.  But...so you know for sure...either wait for an answer here that gives proper sources, or call the local police or sheriff's department where you live and ask them for the law that requires it.  Don't just ask if it's required, ask them where you can find a copy of the law that says so.\n\nGood luck.

check your state laws, and with an attorney

arrest warrents are public record. ask for copies of report from local police agency police records. you will need to know exact date, time, address of arrest to get copy of report.

Holy cow, how did any of you figure out what this question was?  \n\nJust to clarify for those who are reading, there is no "failure to ID" law in California, per se, and it would surprise me if any state does have such a law (not saying they don't, just saying it would surprise me).\n\nWe don't live in Russia, and there is no requirement for your to carry "your papers" as they might be there.\n\nThat said, there are times when you have to provide some kind of proof of ID (such as when you're driving or being cited for littering or whatever).  At least in my state, if the police are going to cite/arrest you, you have the obligation of proving who you are or not being released from custody until you do.\n\nA guy walking down the street, minding his own business and not breaking any laws?  Chances of him being arrested in California for not presenting ID upon request would be just about zero.\n\nI know you're in Idaho, and Lord knows every other state in the union is more conservative than California, but like I said...it would surprise me to learn that you had to identify yourself "just because."

well if they do stuff out in the open theres nothing to stop you from looking. However if they do stuff behind closed doors, you will need to get a warrent.\n\nBut there is nothing to stop you from pretending to be interested in what they do just to get in to get info
