Livingston County Warrant Records Livingston County Warrant Records

Questions about a Livingston County warrant belong with the office that holds the file, not with a private website. The 53rd District Court keeps district criminal, traffic, and civil-infraction matters, and it publishes the county's open-warrants document. Circuit felony files sit with the County Clerk, who serves the 44th Circuit Court. City and township police departments write reports and serve orders, while the sheriff's office handles county reports, jail custody, and bond questions. Start with the issuing court. The routing below sends each question to the right counter. Have the full name, birth year, and any case or warrant number ready before you call, because that is what those offices need to find a file.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot confirm whether a warrant exists, recall or clear a warrant, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice to anyone. Those answers come from the issuing court or from the sheriff's office that holds the matter, and the counters below are where to ask.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Most warrant questions in Livingston County land in one of these four places:

  • Whether a warrant exists: the 53rd District Court, which posts the county's open-warrants document and can confirm a district matter by name and birth year
  • A bench warrant for a missed court date: the court that set the case, since that court issued the warrant and holds the file
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: a licensed Michigan attorney and the issuing court, which handle recalls, surrenders, and bond
  • A sheriff report or county record: the Sheriff's Office Central Records unit or the county FOIA process, not the court clerk

For district matters, the warrant-facing court is the 53rd District Court at the Howell Judicial Center, 204 S. Highlander Way, Suite 1, Howell, MI 48843.
