Probably not. Most states are connected now. ( Thank the rapists and murderers for that.) BUT- check the extradition laws in the new state. They might not care about the warrant..

The short answer is yes. You can go to another state and apply for an Operators license or ID. (Is this the question?, or are you really asking, will I be arrested on the warrant if I do this?)

Now... Depending on the state you are from and the state you are applying for ID in AND depending on the type of warrant that is against you, different things could occur. First off, realize that if you apply for an operator's license or ID in a state in which you do not reside, you could pick up new charges depending on the state. Additionally, you could be charged with new charges if you were not completely accurate with the information you gave to this new state... (like you don't provide accurate information hoping to avoid the warrant...)

AND if it is a Felony warrant, then yes after getting your new ID, The State's computer system from the state that issued the warrant will find you very easily and there is high probability they will arrest and extradite you.

OR if it's a misdemeanor warrant... They may end up knowing where you are but choose not to arrest and extradite you. Know this... that doesn't mean that the warrant goes away... It'll be waiting for you if you ever show up in the right place at the right time. BUT.... BIG BUT HERE....There are many groups of states that have extradition agreements, and they will assist each other is serving misdemeanor warrants.

AND, lets just say that you have a charge that affects your drivers license and your license is suspended... Well if you try to circumvent the suspension by applying for a new license in another state, the new state probably won't issue you the license, and the act of attempting to get another license may be criminal in the new state AND the state you were suspended in.

All in all, you are trying to avoid the inevitable. Just go address the warrant. It's not going to go away. Statutes of limitations only apply to the CHARGING of a person. If you have a warrant... you've been charged. It's not going to go away.

Well, I'd hope you wouldn't have a warrant out for your arrest. It normally means you've broken the law, which isn't a good thing.

Regardless, you normally will have a bit of trouble getting a state-issued ID, since many states do background checks. If the warrant shows up, you'll be taken into custody and sent off to the state/county where the warrant is issued. Some states might not run the background check, though, so you might be safe.

The answer is maybe. The information provided to you by MD covers most situations; without knowing what states you are going to try and what your warrant is for?

Also some states have had reciprocity agreements for years. These states will not issue you an ID or DL if you have unpaid fines or fees in the adjoining state! Ouch!

the reason why is because to come back into america of a illegally, a state line (and therefore, in all probability a nationwide boundary too) is being crossed. it really is a valid question of jurisdiction; immigration violations are concerns for the era of state and/or nationwide lines and to that end belong in federal courts, no longer state courts. Immigration violations are federal concerns. even if you wish it or no longer, a state wouldn't have status to criminalize unlawful immigration; that's federal territory. because of that, I disagree thoroughly with all people attacking Janet Napolitano on that concern. close by regulation enforcement would arrest for violations, yet they are obligated to then turn them in to federal authorities who will then take it from there. I truly do not have any project with what Napolitano pronounced, even if it really is real that Arpaio is making an attempt to subvert federal regulation (which won't be able to be ascertained at present).

Yahoo!Answers is not an anonymous venue. You just admitted to knowledge that there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest. And you put IN PRINT* your desire to commit fraud by getting an ID in another state.

So not only are you a criminal. You are stupid.

Good luck with that!

Yes but if they do a background check, they will arrest you.

All warrants are on a NCIC national data system available in all states for all police and others allowed to view a NCIC data
