Hillsdale County Warrant Records Hillsdale County Warrant Records

This page sets out what we can help with and where an official Hillsdale County warrant question belongs. Most requests go to the court that issued the warrant or to the Sheriff's Office rather than to us. The routing below sends each kind of question to the office that can actually answer it, with the published addresses and phone numbers.

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 one, post bond, arrange a surrender or give legal advice to anyone. Each of those needs the issuing court or the Sheriff's Office directly.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Here is where the questions most people ask about in Hillsdale County belong:

  • Whether a warrant exists: the issuing court is the authority, and the Sheriff's Office can explain the in-person route it uses for warrant information
  • A bench warrant for a missed court date: the court that set the case, which for city traffic, ordinance and misdemeanor matters is the 2B District Court
  • A felony or family matter: the 1st Circuit Court office at the county courthouse
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: a licensed Michigan attorney and the issuing court, for a voluntary appearance, a bond or a motion to recall
  • Custody or service of process: the Hillsdale County Sheriff's Office, which executes court process and runs the jail

For warrant questions held at the county level, the office to call is the Hillsdale County Sheriff's Office, 165 W Fayette Street, Hillsdale, MI 49242, 517-437-7317. The county has warned that warrant information is not given over the phone and is received in person, so call only to confirm where and when to go.

For the case file itself, contact the court that issued the process. The 2B District Court is at 49 N Howell Street, Hillsdale, MI 49242, 517-437-7329, and keeps office hours on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The 1st Circuit Court office is at 29 N Howell Street in Room 6, 517-437-4321. Court records come from the court rather than from the county's general records process, so ask the court office first.
