Wicomico County Warrant Records Wicomico County Warrant Records

This page explains what we can help with and where to send questions about official Wicomico County warrants. Almost every request belongs with a court clerk, the sheriff's Civil Process Division, or the county records office rather than with us. The routing below sends each kind of question to the office that actually holds the answer, along with the address and phone number for each one. Call before visiting any courthouse or sheriff's facility, because published addresses and hours can change.

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 a warrant, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice to anyone. For any of those, contact the issuing court or the sheriff's Civil Process Division directly.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Here is where the most common Wicomico County warrant questions belong:

  • Whether a warrant exists: the court that issued it. The District Court of Maryland for Wicomico County handles traffic, misdemeanor, and many failure-to-appear files, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Wicomico County handles serious criminal and family files.
  • A bench warrant for a missed court date: the clerk of the court that set the case, since that court issued the warrant and controls any recall.
  • Service or tracking questions: the sheriff's Civil Process Division, which tracks warrants, criminal summonses, extraditions, peace orders, writs, and related process.
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: a licensed Maryland attorney and the issuing court, which decide whether the accepted step is a motion, a new date, a payment, a bond appearance, or a voluntary appearance.

The main county contacts are the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Wicomico County at 101 North Division Street, Courthouse Room 105, Salisbury, MD 21801, reached at 410-543-6551 with criminal option 3 and open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; the District Court of Maryland for Wicomico County at 201 Baptist Street, Salisbury, MD 21801-4959, reached at 410-713-3500 with the same weekday hours; the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office Civil Process Division at 410-548-4891, where you should confirm the current address by phone because the agency website and older county documents list different locations; the District Court commissioner station at 411 B Naylor Mill Road, open around the clock at 410-548-7030; and the Wicomico County Detention Center at 411 Naylor Mill Road, reached at 410-548-4850 for custody questions.

If you need a copy of an existing county or sheriff record rather than case status, use the county Public Information Act request process. Requests must describe a specific record, and the county may charge reasonable search, preparation, and copying fees. Court copy fees are separate and are handled by the clerk who holds the file. Public Defender representation questions go to 410-713-3400, and the State's Attorney's Office at 410-548-4880 handles prosecution matters, not defense questions.
