If you’re wondering whether there’s an active warrant on your name in Union County, the anonymous path is through Indiana’s statewide court portal — not a phone call to the Sheriff. Indiana publishes case records for all 92 counties, including Union, through MyCase, the state’s centralized public case search. The Union County Courthouse sits at 26 West Union Street in Liberty, and warrant-related case filings appear there alongside all other court activity. Most searches come back clear.
Anonymous nationwide warrant check
Running a check before you talk to an attorney gives you a clearer picture of what you’re actually dealing with. This tool is designed to search criminal warrant data across multiple states and jurisdictions, and may help fill gaps that local portals often leave — including records from neighboring counties, federal cases, or entries under prior names.

This tool is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and may not be used to screen anyone for employment, housing, credit, or any other purpose covered by that law.
Checking with Union County directly
Today, Indiana gives you a single interface to search court records across all 92 counties at once — you don’t need to know which county filed a case to start looking. The statewide portal at Indiana MyCase docket search lets you search by name and will surface Union County Circuit Court and Superior Court filings alongside cases from any other Indiana county. Warrant-related entries typically appear as part of a criminal case docket, so you can see whether a case is open and whether a warrant has been issued.
For a direct county-level check, the Union County Sheriff’s Office maintains a web presence at Union County Indiana Sheriff’s Office, and the county’s official sheriff information is also available through Union County: Sheriff on IN.gov. Calling the Sheriff directly requires you to identify yourself — which is why most people prefer the online portal as a first move. If you do call, reach the Union County Courthouse at (765) 458-6121 (confirm hours before calling). Note that courthouse phone lines can experience wait times, so online searches are often faster for an initial check.
| Resource | What it can confirm | What it cannot confirm | Best used when |
|---|---|---|---|
| MyCase statewide portal | Open cases, warrant entries, case status across all 92 IN counties | Federal warrants; very recent filings not yet indexed | You want an anonymous, no-call search right now |
| Union County Indiana Sheriff’s Office | Sheriff-level information; sex/violent offender registry via registered offender search | Real-time warrant status without self-identification | You need official Sheriff contact or offender registry info |
| Union County Courthouse — (765) 458-6121 | Clerk of Court can confirm warrant status by name | Requires self-identification; not anonymous | You need certainty close to a court date and can identify yourself |
If a search shows an active warrant
Finding an active warrant is information, not a verdict — and what you do next matters more than the discovery itself. Talk to a criminal defense attorney before making any contact with law enforcement or the court. An attorney can tell you whether the warrant is bondable or non-bondable, negotiate a surrender date if one is needed, and in some cases get the warrant recalled before you ever set foot in a courtroom.
You can find licensed Indiana criminal defense attorneys through the Indiana Roll of Attorneys search, maintained by the Indiana Supreme Court. If you cannot afford a private attorney, tell the judge at your first court appearance that you cannot afford counsel and ask for a court-appointed attorney — that right applies in Indiana and every other state. Indiana’s public defender services are coordinated through the Indiana Public Defender Commission. A warrant that has been sitting for months on a missed traffic court date is a very different situation from a felony warrant — an attorney can assess that distinction quickly and help you move forward on your terms.
If no warrant turns up
Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act, Ind. Code § 5-14-3, makes court records broadly available — and the most common outcome of a name search is simply no active warrant. That result is worth taking seriously, but keep one caveat in mind: there can be a lag between when a court issues a warrant and when it appears in a searchable database. MyCase and third-party tools both reflect data that was indexed at some point before you searched. If you have a court date coming up and need certainty, call the Clerk of Court at the Union County Courthouse — not the Sheriff — and ask directly. The Clerk’s office can confirm case status without triggering an enforcement response.

Frequently asked questions
Will searching my own name on MyCase alert the Union County Sheriff?
No. MyCase is a public read-only portal. Searching a name on it generates no notification to the Union County Sheriff’s Office or any other law enforcement agency. The search is anonymous from the system’s perspective. The same is true for the third-party nationwide tool on this page. Neither search “wakes up” a warrant or triggers any enforcement action.
A warrant showed up in my search — what should I do before contacting the court?
Talk to a criminal defense attorney before calling the court or the Sheriff. An attorney can review whether the warrant is bondable, arrange a voluntary surrender on a schedule that works for you, or in some cases seek to have the warrant recalled entirely. You can find licensed Indiana attorneys through the Indiana Roll of Attorneys search at Indiana Roll of Attorneys attorney directory. If cost is a concern, you can ask the judge at your first appearance for court-appointed counsel — that right applies in every Indiana court.
