Jefferson County Warrant Records Jefferson County Warrant Records

Questions about official Jefferson County warrants belong with the court that issued the process or the law-enforcement office that holds it. This private site cannot check or change a warrant. The contacts below distinguish the Sheriff's Birmingham and Bessemer warrant offices from the two Circuit Clerk divisions and from municipal courts, helping readers send a request to the office that actually keeps the record.

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 for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the sheriff's warrant unit or the issuing court directly.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Jefferson County divides warrant and court work among several offices. Route each question by the warrant's source:

  • Whether a warrant exists: contact the sheriff's warrant unit, the office that serves warrants and can confirm an outstanding one by name and date of birth
  • A bench warrant for a missed court date: contact the state or municipal court that set the case, since that court controls the warrant
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: talk to a licensed Alabama attorney and the issuing court about recall, surrender, or bond
  • An arrest warrant tied to a charge: the issuing court sets the charge and bond; the sheriff's warrant unit serves it

For county-level service, contact the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Court Services/Warrants Division. The Birmingham office is at 801 Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard, Birmingham, AL 35203, 205-325-5725. The Bessemer office is at 1826 2nd Avenue North, Bessemer, AL 35020, 205-481-4201. Both contacts come from the sheriff's official Court Services directory.

State-court files remain with the proper clerk. The Jefferson County Circuit Clerk's Birmingham Division is at 716 Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard North, Birmingham, AL 35203, 205-325-5355, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Bessemer Division is at 1851 Second Avenue North, Bessemer, AL 35020, 205-497-8510, with the same posted weekday hours. A city citation or municipal failure-to-appear matter should go first to that city's municipal court clerk.
