Ingham County Warrant Records Ingham County Warrant Records

Most questions about an Ingham County warrant belong with a court or with the Sheriff, not with a website. The office that answers depends on where the case was filed. Start with the case number. Lansing matters go to 54-A District Court, East Lansing matters to 54-B, and the rest of the county to the 55th District Court in Mason. Felony files sit with the 30th Circuit Court, and child-support matters run through the Friend of the Court. The Sheriff serves the orders and keeps its own agency records. This page routes each common question to the office that can answer it and lists the real addresses, phone numbers, and counter hours.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot confirm that a warrant exists, recall or clear a warrant, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice to anyone. For any of those, you have to reach the issuing court or the Ingham County Sheriff's office directly.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Here is where to route the questions people ask most often about Ingham County cases:

  • Whether a warrant exists: call the court that issued the case, not the Sheriff. County cases outside Lansing and East Lansing go to the 55th District Court criminal division at 517-676-8405; Lansing cases to 54-A at 517-483-4426; East Lansing cases to 54-B Outstanding Warrants at 54BWarrants@cityofeastlansing.com or 517-336-8630
  • A bench warrant for a missed court date: the court that set the case holds the warrant, so the 55th, 54-A, or 54-B is the right call, depending on where the ticket or charge was filed
  • A felony matter: the 30th Circuit Court Clerk at 517-483-6500, extension 6816, handles circuit files and certified copies
  • A child-support or show-cause hearing: the Ingham County Friend of the Court at 517-483-6103 covers support matters and its own bench-warrant process
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: talk to a licensed Michigan attorney and the issuing court about a recall, a surrender, or posting bond
  • A Sheriff record or report: the Sheriff's Central Records desk at 517-676-8224 handles agency records and FOIA requests, but it does not run a public warrant lookup
