Checking for a Warrant in Manila
Manila posts no public warrant list of its own. Begin with Utah BCI's Statewide Warrants search. A case or citation number then tells you which court holds the file. The Town of Manila contact desk answers town-government questions, not warrant recalls, so route those to the court or the Sheriff.
- Search the BCI-linked state system by name and compare the court and case details.
- For a traffic matter, try the Daggett Justice Court citation or case-number payment lookup.
- Call the clerk if the number is missing, a mandatory appearance is listed, or the case is unclear.
- Call the Daggett County Sheriff for service questions; after hours, dispatch routes calls through Vernal.
- Use a county records request for county-held records or the Utah Courts request route for a court file.
These are the practical channels a Manila caller can use for a warrant check. Town hall is an administrative contact, not a warrant desk.
Manila Warrant Search at the Court-and-Sheriff Hub
Manila is Daggett County's seat and its largest town, home to 308 residents in the 2020 Census. The county's offices cluster here. That means a warrant question may sit with the Justice Court, the Eighth District Court, or the Sheriff's Office, and the first job is finding which one. The county's Quick Facts page links local offices and the Manila town website. It offers town and county context. It is not a warrant result.
Daggett's geography page describes the county's wide rural stretch. It explains why calling in or appearing by Webex can beat a long drive to Manila.
Use Manila's local links to find the right office, then ask the clerk to confirm the case before relying on anything else.
Manila Police and Municipal Court
The Town of Manila has no police department, marshal, municipal court, or warrant portal of its own. Manila is a local government entity. Court and law-enforcement duties route through the county or another Utah agency, depending on the case.
Manila Warrant Checks Start With a Citation Number
A Manila warrant check at the Daggett Justice Court starts with a number. The payment page asks for a citation or court case number and a Search action. A Manila number belongs to that court location, not the whole state. Check the case name before paying. A blank screen can mean a wrong number, a citation not yet filed, or no balance due. County instructions say citations are often filed within five days, and a manual filing may take longer. Don't try variations. Call the Manila clerk instead. After a missed appearance in a Manila case, ask whether a new court date is required. Paying online never recalls a warrant on its own.
Manila Warrant Types
A Manila address can surface in several kinds of court matters. The town has no municipal court of its own. The table maps each matter to its likely record route, through county or state offices rather than a Manila warrant desk.
| Case type | Where to ask | Manila-specific point |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic citation or FTA | Daggett County Justice Court | Use citation or case number; ask whether appearance is mandatory. |
| Class B or C matter | Justice Court or court named on the case | The court controls recall and payment. |
| Felony or Class A matter | Eighth District Court, Daggett County | Ask that clerk which judge or release terms apply. |
| Town ordinance question | Town administration, then issuing court | No separate municipal court lookup was located. |
Manila Warrant Calls and the Temporary Court Phone Notice
The Justice Court page lists 435-784-3216. A notice dated September 17, 2025 reported the phone system down. It told callers to use 435-343-9001 during repairs. Treat that second number as temporary. The page also lists fax 435-784-3029. In-person hours run 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with remote hours 1:30 to 5 p.m. on weekdays, closed holidays. Manila callers should confirm the phone route before traveling or sharing sensitive details.
Verify first: Check the current county notice before relying on the temporary phone number or planning a court visit.
Inside a Manila Warrant Record
A public result may show a case identifier, a charge, the issuing court, a status, and release terms. No local warrant-number format is published. Read the court and case fields first, since those say who can confirm a Manila record.
| Warrant / case number | Use the court's exact number; no Manila-only format is documented. |
|---|---|
| Person name | Compare name and date of birth where the public system offers them. |
| Issuing court | Justice Court, Eighth District Court, or another Utah court named in the result. |
| Charge | Underlying case or citation, if public. |
| Status | Ask the issuing clerk whether it remains active or was recalled. |
Manila Bench Warrants After a Missed Webex Setting
The Justice Court usually meets on the second Wednesday and Thursday of the month and posts Webex participation details. If you missed a Manila setting, call quickly. Ask whether a reset or remote appearance is allowed. The schedule can change, and a Webex link is not automatic permission to skip an in-person date. The court's local page gives a usual window of 24 to 48 hours after a missed date before a Manila warrant may issue. That is common practice, not a promise. Ask the clerk about your specific case.
How Manila Warrants Fit the County System
A Manila case may be entered by the Daggett Justice Court or the Eighth District Court and then transmitted to Utah's Statewide Warrants file. The Sheriff handles service questions. Only the issuing court can recall its warrant. See the Daggett County warrant records overview for county-wide offices. The Warrant Lookup page covers BCI, Xchange, and records requests.
Manila Warrants and the Closed Daggett Jail
The Sheriff's page says the Daggett County Jail is no longer open. Manila publishes no surrender schedule or bond window. Before a voluntary appearance, ask the Sheriff or dispatch where booking and transport now happen. The courthouse and the sheriff's office are separate stops. Showing up at a Manila courthouse never guarantees a person with an active warrant walks out free. Get counsel and current directions first.
Manila Warrant Records and Public Access
Utah GRAMA covers county-held records. Court records follow judicial access rules instead. Sealed, protected, private, expunged, or juvenile material may be withheld, and an empty online result still does not prove a Manila record is missing.
Key rules:
Utah Code §63G-2-201 sets the public-record presumption and protected categories.
Utah Code §63G-2-204 requires a reasonably specific written request.
Utah Courts records request is the route for judicial files.
Town Hall Does Not Recall Manila Warrants
The Town of Manila cannot clear a warrant. Town Hall runs municipal government, not court records. It has no say over whether a Manila warrant is still active. The Daggett County Sheriff's office can explain how service and custody work locally. For citation payment or recall, go to Daggett Justice Court. Felony and Class A matters belong to the Eighth District Court. Match your paperwork to the court or agency that actually issued the warrant.
