So I have a warrant in a county for something I didn't do and cnt get it cleared up till I can hire a lawyer but I live in Illinois and need a new state id if I go to a dmv in a completely different county will the warrant show up and can I be arrested

[Wondergirl]

I''m in Illinois too. The DMV database covers the entire state, not just each county independently, so yes, your name has probably been flagged.

So can get arrested or and I kind of need 100% answer lol

We moved from Cook to DuPage.The local DMV in the town we moved to had our records on computer.

So is there no way to get in id in any way lol

I may be wrong. I found this --

"If you’re curious about what’s contained on your criminal record, or if you manage a business and need to run a criminal record check on an applicant, the process for conducting background checks is easy. Especially online, where you’ll find a variety of options.

Keep in mind the [criminal] information will be restricted to the county you’re searching in. This means if say you’re searching in Cook County, Illinois, the report will only contain criminal information for Cook County."

Of course, the DMV will ask your address. If you live in Oak Park, they might wonder why you are applying for a state ID in Lombard.

Well if they asked I was ganna say I just need a replacement I lost mine lol I was just wondering if it would guarantee show up and get arrested but if not I'd do because I've been stopped several times name drawn and nothing showed up

There is no guarantee one way or the other... you can take the chance or play it safe. To be honest, it's very likely to show up. This is the age of computers, it's kind of hard to hide now.

[samsam76]

And I tried the link nothing showed up so I honestly Dnt know

[Wondergirl]

Maybe because you don't have a criminal record yet?

When will this mess be resolved and you can get on with life?

[samsam76]

Well it's cause I don't know if it's a warrant thts what's friends have told me but I looked up the info it just says I'm being profiled

[samsam76]

And I do have old charges for possession and that didn't show

[Wondergirl]

and I do have old charges for possession and tht didn't show

Well, you could call a DMV facility from a phone that won't show Caller ID and ask.
