I am not a lawyer, however, I do have a fairly extensive knowledge of the law. I don't believe that the court system communicates with DMV as to who has warrants and who doesn't. The only way DMV would know about your warrant would be if it had something to do with a motor vehicle. Even if it does, I have never seen anyone arrested in a DMV office, I believe the DMV does their job and lets the officers do theirs, and I don't believe DMV personel have the authority to arrest people. You can buy a copy of DMV laws, rules and regulations from your local DMV. Last year, it was either 3 or 5 dollars. It might help you to get a copy of the DMV Laws in California, I buy one every year, so I know what I can and can't do, what officers can and can't do, and what other drivers can and can't do. Even at 5.00, this book is a bargain!! Saved me a bunch for sure! Hope this helps. * It is likely the DMV would have notification of an active warrant and the renewal of the license would be denied. CA. Penal Code 1214.1...(paraphrased) ..'the court may impose a hold on driving privileges and/or registration of any person who fails to appear in court for any proceeding authorized by law....'

Given that a bench warrant authorizes your immediate arrest upon sighting, this might be somewhat problematic for you if you happen to be standing inside a state office at the time.
