Active Warrant Search in St. Johns County
In Florida, public access to an arrest warrant depends on its status. Under Chapter 119, Section 071 of the Florida Statutes and Rule 2.42(c)(6) of Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration, active and unserved warrants are exempted from public access to protect the integrity of law enforcement investigations. However, a St. Johns County arrest warrant becomes public once it is served and a Return of Service is filed at the St. Johns Circuit or County Court.
While there is restricted access to active warrants in St. Johns County, interested parties can use the following criteria to search for the county’s publicly accessible warrant records:
- Subject's name
- Date of birth
