A Michigan warrant never expires over time. The warrants lasts until cancelled by the court. — Michigan warrants never expire.

One of our office’s most frequently asked questions is, “Do Michigan warrants expire?” or “how long do Michigan warrants last?” Contrary to myths suggesting that warrants can expire by avoiding arrest for a certain amount of years, Michigan warrants never expire. Evading one can lead to significant legal repercussions, affecting bail, sentencing, and even travel. Michigan arrest warrants last for 5, 10, or even 30 years until the person is arrested or appears in court.
