This Is Not a Government Office. Hampton City Warrant Records cannot confirm a live warrant, recall process, accept bond or fine payments, arrange surrender, or give legal advice. For an official answer, contact Hampton Police and the clerk of the court that issued the case.
Official Hampton Warrant Contacts
Use the office that handles the task. A Police warrant question, a court case, a records request, and a custody issue go to different desks.
- Outstanding warrant or summons: Hampton Police, 757-727-6626, the number published by the Magistrates Office. Police headquarters and Central Records are at 40 Lincoln Street, Hampton, VA 23669. Central Records is 757-727-6540, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Adult traffic or misdemeanor case: Hampton General District Court Criminal and Traffic Division, 236 N. King Street, second floor, 757-727-6260. Clerk hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Felony or Circuit file: Clerk of the Circuit Court for the City of Hampton, 237 N. King Street, 757-727-6105; criminal office routing is 757-728-3367. Clerk hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Juvenile, domestic, or support case: Hampton J&DR Court, 220 N. King Street, 757-727-6147. Juvenile files have added access limits.

The magistrate office at 236 N. King Street is open 24 hours for judicial and bail work. It directs current outstanding-warrant questions to Hampton Police and cannot give legal advice.
For an existing public record, Hampton routes FOIA requests through GovQA and its FOIA officers. The City gives an initial response within five business days; costs and exemptions may apply. A $15 in-person local criminal record check requires the subject's photo ID and covers local convictions, not warrant status.
Hampton's records-request instructions explain request methods and the information to include. The old correctional-facility page says 135 High Court Lane is temporarily closed during construction, so confirm current intake routing before traveling there.
