NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal agency, court, or law-enforcement office. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or another Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) use. We provide general Des Moines County and Iowa warrant-record guidance. We are neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independently operated private reference site, not a court, sheriff, or government service. We hold no official warrant records and cannot conduct an official check, file papers, post bond, or recall a warrant.
We identify official sources such as the Des Moines County Clerk of Court and Sheriff's Office, explain the limited role of Iowa Courts Online, and link to outside tools that may assist with general research.
2. Informational Use Only
All content is general information. Explanations of Des Moines County warrants do not replace an official check, a court order, or an attorney's advice. Treat the material as a starting point and confirm important facts with the Iowa District Court or Des Moines County Sheriff's Office.
3. Not for Screening or Locating People
The site's civic purpose is to help people understand checking or resolving their own warrant, or assist a family member. It is not offered for investigating others. You agree not to use this site or a linked tool 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 covered by the FCRA (see below)
4. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
5. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produce no consumer, credit, or background reports. Services here and those of advertising partners are not designed for applicant screening, rental review, insurance pricing, or creditworthiness decisions. You agree that site or linked-tool data will not be used to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential 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
A background check for a regulated purpose must come from an FCRA-compliant screening company.
6. No Legal Advice
Nothing here is legal advice. General explanations cannot determine how a warrant, charge, bond, or court date affects a particular situation. Consult a licensed Iowa attorney for that guidance.
7. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Content and services are supplied "as is," without any guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
A warrant may be issued, served, or recalled at any time, and online information can lag behind official action. Gaps are unavoidable even when pages are maintained carefully. Nothing here is an official statement from a court or sheriff; verify status with the Des Moines County Clerk of Court or Sheriff's Office before relying on it.
8. Third-Party Services and Links
The site links to sheriff and court pages, legal-aid organizations, and commercial search services. Following a link opens a service outside our control. We are not responsible for its content, data practices, charges, or availability; review the destination's terms first.
9. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Des Moines County Warrant Records or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or adapted without prior written permission.
10. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from site use, including decisions based on material found here or through a linked service.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or legal proceedings resulting from your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
12. Governing Law
Iowa law governs these terms, including applicable principles of Iowa Code Chapter 22 where an official Iowa public record is involved. Any dispute connected with use of this private site must be brought in a court located in Iowa.
13. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you tell me if I have a warrant?
No. We are a private reference site without access to a warrant system. You may begin with the warrant lookup guidance, then contact the Clerk of Court or Sheriff's Office for official information.
Can you recall or clear a warrant for me?
No. Only the issuing court can recall or clear a warrant. Talk to an attorney and the issuing court.
Is a warrant listing on a linked tool official?
No. Warrant data on third-party tools may be incomplete or out of date. The official status comes from the court that issued the warrant or the sheriff's warrant unit.
