How to Find Out If I Got a Warrant in Wisconsin

When you do not pay a fine or appear in court, a judge may issue a bench warrant for your arrest. Bench warrants mandate the immediate arrest of a person. Once a bench warrant is issued, law enforcement officers can arrest you and bring you before the judge. If you live in Wisconsin and missed a court appearance or forgot to pay your fine, the Wisconsin Court System documents details about crimes and court appearances on the Internet. This information is available at the Wisconsin Consolidated Court Automation Program (CCAP) website.
