A warrant officer is referred to by their rank, also by their rate, but by officers is referred to as "Mr" or "Ms".

Honorverse
In peacetime, a Warrant Officer 1st Class would have served at least 15 years of enlisted service, and served as a Warrant Officer 2nd Class for 2 years. Since they hold a Monarch's Warrant, they are not commissioned. They would be the equivalent of an Lieutenant (junior grade).[1]
