NO FCRA USE. This website is privately owned and operated. It has no affiliation with any local, state, or federal government body, court, or law enforcement office. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offer services intended for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or any other purpose the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) covers. We exist to help visitors find warrant information and resources in Dakota County, Minnesota. We are not a private investigation firm, and we are not a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site. We operate independently, with no ties to any government office, court, or sheriff. We do not host official warrant records, and we cannot run a warrant check, recall a warrant, post bond, or file documents for anyone.
What we do is point you toward the offices that hold Dakota County warrant information, including the Sheriff's Office that serves warrants, the District Court that issues them, and the statewide case reader, and connect you with outside tools that may help with your research.
2. Informational Use Only
Everything published here is general information. We describe how warrants and warrant records typically work in Dakota County, and nothing on this site takes the place of an official warrant check, a court order, or advice from an attorney. Treat it as a starting point, then confirm anything that matters with the Sheriff's Office or the court that issued the warrant.
3. Not for Screening or Locating People
This site exists to help a person check for and resolve a warrant, whether it belongs to them or to a family member, and to understand how the warrant process works. It is not a tool for investigating other people. You agree that you will not use this site or any tool linked from it to:
- Screen anyone for employment, housing, tenancy, or credit
- Locate, monitor, track, or target any individual
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone
- Make any decision the FCRA covers (see below)
4. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Violate any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Attempt to break into our systems or reach access you are not authorized to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site or keeps other people from using it
5. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not produce background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, setting insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:
- Decide whether to hire or terminate someone
- Screen prospective renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
If you need a background check for one of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant screening company.
6. No Legal Advice
Nothing on this site is legal advice. We explain how warrants generally work in Dakota County, and we cannot tell you how a warrant, charge, bond, or court date applies to your situation. For that, speak with a licensed Minnesota attorney.
7. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given moment
- The site will stay online without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security gaps
- Results from partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Warrants are issued, recalled, and served constantly, so a warrant can be added, cleared, or served within the same day and an online list may lag behind. We try to keep up, and some gaps are unavoidable. Nothing here should be read as an official statement from a court or sheriff. Always verify a warrant's status with the court that issued it or the Sheriff's Office before you rely on it.
8. Third-Party Services and Links
We link to sheriff's office sites, court portals, the state case reader, legal aid organizations, and outside search services throughout this site. Following one of those links moves you off our pages and onto a site we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, their data practices, what they charge, or whether they stay online. Review their terms before you use them.
9. Intellectual Property
All text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to Dakota County Warrant Records or to our content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or build on our content without obtaining written permission first.
10. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent the law permits, we are not liable for damages that result from using this site, including decisions made on the basis of information found here or through any linked service.
11. Indemnification
You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that arises from how you used this site or from your violation of these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.
12. Governing Law
These terms fall under the laws of the State of Minnesota. Any legal dispute connected to your use of this site must be filed in courts located within Minnesota.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms take effect as soon as they appear on this page.

No. Only the issuing court can recall or clear a warrant. Speak with an attorney and the court that issued it.
