If you missed a court date in Florida, you may have a bench warrant out for your arrest.

And while you can contact our criminal defense attorney at (305) 775-3720 for a free warrant check, here are a few steps you can take to check.

How to Check If You Have a Bench Warrant in Florida

Fortunately, there are a few ways you can find out if you have a warrant out for your arrest. 

First, you should visit the Florida Crime Information Center Website. This site allows you to search for active warrants under your name. Unfortunately, the information is not always up to date so it is important you take additional steps to confirm.

If your name does not come up on their database, you should search the Clerk of Court website of the County where you believe you have a warrant. For example, you can search the Miami-Dade County website, Broward County website, and Palm Beach County website.

If your name still does not come up, you can also call the courthouse directly and ask a clerk for help.  For your convenience, we have listed some of the numbers here:

  • Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts: 305-275-1111
  • Broward County Clerk of Courts: 954-831-6565
  • Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts: 561-355-2994
