This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot confirm whether an order exists, recall or clear one, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice for anyone. For any of those, reach the issuing court, the County Clerk, or the Sheriff's office directly.
Need Official Warrant Information?
Start with the office that holds the record rather than a general number:
- Whether a court order exists: the 88th District Court for a misdemeanor, traffic, or ordinance case, and the 26th Circuit Court or County Clerk for a felony after bindover
- A bench warrant for a missed date: the court that set the case, since that court issued and controls the order
- A support-enforcement matter: the Friend of the Court, which handles show-cause proceedings in support cases
- Custody or bond: the Alpena County Sheriff's Office, which serves process and holds people in custody
- Resolving a case: a licensed Michigan attorney together with the issuing court, for a recall, an appearance, or bond

Call before you travel. Both county buildings are weapons free, and the office that holds your record may keep different hours than the one next to it.
