I I have a warrant out for my arrest, can I get my ID renewed, or will I get arrested?

So, can you renew your driver's license or your ID if you have an outstanding warrant? Are you going to get arrested is the question. So anytime somebody has an outstanding warrant, the risk of getting arrested is tenfold because obviously you can get pulled over for a simple traffic stop and they can see that you have a warrant and you get arrested. Now what that means whenever you go to the DMV, are you going to get arrested at the DMV? The DMV is a government entity, so they do run your name in a government system. It's very possible that your warrant may come up in that government system. The DMV themselves are not the policing agency that's going to arrest you on the spot. They could contact law enforcement and say, so and so is here, they have an active warrant, you can come and pick them up and the police may or may not show up to come and arrest you. Now, what to do practically is I would definitely advise that you get an attorney, clear your warrant first. So whether that's an arrest warrant or whether that's a bench warrant, I would definitely advise that you clear your warrant first and then go to the DMV and renew your ID. It would also help, you could probably renew your ID online, not having to go in in person if you'd want to avoid that. So those are the two things. The first things I would do definitely is clear the warrant because you have much higher risk of getting arrested while driving than you probably do at the DMV. But generally speaking, bottom line is no, people don't always get arrested at the DMV, but it can happen and there's no guarantee that you'll be safe. So get your warrant cleared.
