Oklahoma, Oklahoma Warrant Records

Are Warrants Public Record in Oklahoma?

Warrants are considered public records in Oklahoma pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act (51 O.S. §§ 24A.1-24A.31). This legislation establishes the public's right to access government documents, including warrant records, with certain statutory exceptions. The Oklahoma Open Records Act operates under the principle that government transparency promotes accountability in the public interest.

The Oklahoma State Courts Network maintains warrant information as part of the public judicial record. Under Oklahoma law, most warrant information becomes available to the public after issuance, though certain exceptions exist for sealed warrants related to ongoing investigations as provided in 22 O.S. § 1225. Public access to warrant records serves multiple governmental functions, including:

Ensuring transparency in the judicial process
Allowing individuals to verify if warrants exist in their name
Supporting the fair administration of justice
Providing notice to the public regarding individuals sought by law enforcement

Warrant information typically enters the public record upon filing with the court clerk, as required by 22 O.S. § 1224.
