If you are unsure whether there has been a warrant issued against you, you may want to run a criminal record check.

From a legal sense, a warrant is a written document issued by a governing body that authorizes an officer of the law to take a specific action, such as make an arrest, conduct a search, or execute a judgment.

As it relates to driving matters, a warrant may be issued following a variety of offenses, such as driving with a suspended license, operating a vehicle while intoxicated, or failing to maintain the proper insurance. It all depends on how your state’s driving license bureau looks at these offenses, and how the agency decides to rectify the situation.
