Phoenix Warrant Records

Phoenix warrant records can be searched through the Municipal Court and Maricopa County systems. As Arizona's capital and largest city, Phoenix handles thousands of warrants each year. The Municipal Court issues warrants for city violations like traffic tickets and misdemeanors. More serious warrants come from Maricopa County Superior Court. This guide covers all the ways to search for and resolve warrant records in Phoenix.

Phoenix Municipal Court Warrants

The Phoenix Municipal Court handles city-level cases. Their FAQ page explains exactly what to do if you have a warrant.

According to the Phoenix Municipal Court FAQ, you have two main options to quash a warrant. Option one is to file a written motion. You can email it to court@phoenix.gov or mail it to Phoenix Municipal Court, Correspondence and Research, PO Box 25650, Phoenix, Arizona 85002-5650. The motion asks the judge to cancel your warrant and set a new court date.

Option two is to pay the total warrant amount. This clears the warrant immediately. You can pay online at phoenixcourt.gov, by mail, by phone at (602) 262-6421, or in person at 300 West Washington Street. One special option is 24-hour payment at the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office at 201 S. 4th Ave. This lets you clear a warrant any time of day or night.

Clearing a Warrant in Phoenix

Phoenix gives you several ways to handle a warrant. The Municipal Court makes the process fairly straightforward.

If you can pay, that is the fastest route. Pay online, by phone, by mail, or in person. The 24-hour option at MCSO is great if you need to clear a warrant outside business hours. Once you pay, the warrant is quashed and you get a new court date if needed.

If you cannot pay right away, file a motion to quash. Email your motion to court@phoenix.gov. Explain why you missed court and ask for a new hearing. The judge will review your motion and decide whether to cancel the warrant. If approved, you get a new date without paying the bond.

For serious charges from Superior Court, the process is different. Those warrants go through Maricopa County. See our Maricopa County page for details on county-level warrants.
