Statewide Person Search

To assist with the tracking and processing of Unserved (outstanding) processes, the Statewide Warrant Search application is provided. This application searches both NCAWARE and ACIS databases for Unserved processes and places the returns in a single screen. Below are the steps to perform a Statewide Warrant Search for persons currently listed as Defendants on Unserved processes:

Before you start:

A Statewide Person Search will only return persons listed as Defendants on Unserved processes of these types.
A Statewide Person Search will return matches from the NCAWARE and ACIS databases.
The Statewide Person Search utilizes Soundex search functions. For users unfamiliar with this type search, please review Soundex Searches before continuing.
If a person or process record exists in both NCAWARE and ACIS databases, only the NCAWARE record will display from the search.
If the same File Number has both an outstanding CR and CRS case associated, then only the CRS case will display in the search results.

From STATEWIDE SEARCH - outstanding processes, click the Search by Person link.
The STATEWIDE SEARCH - defendant screen displays. The following search groupings/fields are available:

Name Search

Search Level
Last Name, First Name, Middle Name/Initial (These fields use Soundex)

Notes:

Fields from differing search groupings can be entered as search criteria simultaneously. The system will conduct a search on each entered field.
Searches that will return more than 1000 records will not process. The system will ask for more search criteria to limit the returns.

Enter search criteria and click the Search button.
