Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This site is a private reference resource, not a government service. It does not keep official warrant files and cannot conduct an official check, recall process, accept bond, or submit court filings for a visitor.

Our pages explain Virginia’s public court-case information and the separate roles of the courts, clerks, magistrates, Virginia State Police, sheriffs, and police departments. The Virginia Criminal Information Network and NCIC are restricted systems, not public warrant portals. We also link to outside tools that may be useful for general research.

2. Informational Use Only

All material here is educational background about Virginia warrant procedures and records. It is not an official check, a court order, or legal advice. Treat it as a starting point and confirm important case details with the issuing court or the sheriff or police department responsible for the process. Public access to existing records may be governed by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (Va. Code §§ 2.2-3700 et seq.), court-specific statutes, and court rules. VFOIA does not require a public body to create a new statewide warrant report or disclose restricted VCIN or NCIC data.

3. Not for Screening or Locating People

This site is intended for people seeking to understand or address their own warrant matter or that of a family member. It must not be used to investigate or target others. You agree not to use this site or a linked service to:

• Locate, follow, monitor, or target a person
• Make any decision regulated by the FCRA, as described below
• Harass, threaten, intimidate, or stalk another person
• Use warrant information for employment, housing, tenancy, or credit screening

4. Rules for Using This Site

When using the site, you agree not to:

• Use automated bots, scrapers, or similar tools on the pages
• Interfere with site access or make it harder for others to use
• Attempt unauthorized access to our systems or information
• Violate federal, Virginia, or local law

5. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for FCRA-regulated decisions. You agree not to use information from this site or a linked tool to:

• Assess a person’s creditworthiness or insurance eligibility
• Decide whether to hire or retain someone in a job
• Evaluate an applicant for a rental or housing arrangement
• Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
• Make another decision regulated by the FCRA

Use a provider that complies with the FCRA if you need a report for a purpose covered by that law.

6. No Legal Advice

Nothing here should be treated as legal advice. Our general explanation of Virginia warrant procedure cannot determine what a warrant, charge, bond, or hearing date means in a particular case. Ask a Virginia-licensed attorney for advice about your circumstances.

7. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed

Material is offered "as is," without a promise that:

• Any information is complete, correct, or current
• The site will remain available without a service interruption
• Pages will be free of technical errors or security weaknesses
• A partner tool will return accurate or complete results

Virginia warrants and court entries can change as courts act and law-enforcement agencies update service records. OCIS 2.0 is a public case-information service, not a complete warrant register, and an entry may lag or omit restricted details. A missing result is not proof that no warrant exists. Do not treat this site or an online list as an official court or sheriff statement; confirm current status with the issuing court or the local agency responsible for service.

8. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may take you to Virginia court information, sheriff or police pages, legal-aid services, or third-party search tools. Those sites operate independently of us. We do not control their content, privacy practices, prices, or availability, so review their terms before using them.

9. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to Virginia Warrant Records or the relevant content partners. Do not copy, distribute, modify, or adapt that material without prior written permission.

10. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of this site, including actions taken based on its content or information from a linked service.

11. Indemnification

You agree to protect us from claims, proceedings, or demands arising from your use of the site or violation of these terms, including associated legal fees and costs.

12. Governing Law

Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute related to your use of the site must be brought in a court located in Virginia.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The revised version takes effect when posted on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you tell me if I have a warrant?

No. This private site cannot check an official system. Read our Warrant Check for public case-search steps, or open Browse Counties to find the locality’s court clerk or responsible sheriff or police department.

Can you recall or clear a warrant for me?

No. The court that issued the process decides whether to recall or clear it. Resolution may involve getting legal advice and asking that court about a hearing, surrender, bond, or a motion to recall or quash.

Is a warrant listing on a linked tool official?

No. A third-party result can be incomplete or old. Confirm the case with the issuing court and ask the local sheriff or police agency responsible for service about execution status.

Where do I ask a question about these terms?

Read the information on our Contact page for the proper Virginia court or local agency to ask.
