    Default Can You Get a State ID if you Have an Arrest Warrant

    If you apply for a State ID card (not a driver's license), will you be arrested for a misdemeanor warrant from another state? Will you be able to get the ID card?

    Default Re: Can You Get a State ID if you Have an Arrest Warrant

    In most states, even if the warrant is detected and called for interstate enforcement, the office where you apply for a state ID card will have no officer on staff who would be able to arrest you. Further, most misdemeanor warrants have limited pickup ranges even within a state, and don't provide for interstate pickup or detention. The odds of an arrest are thus very low.

    It is possible that the state would issue an ID card, but laws and regulations vary by state; if the state detects the warrant, it would be necessary to investigate the laws and regulations of that specific state to determine if it will issue an ID card despite the warrant.
